The River's Lament

[Verse]
A willow bows
Her branches weep
The river hums
A song so deep
Shadows dance where the waters lie
Whispered tales beneath the sky

[Chorus]
Oh
The river's lament
It flows
It flows
Through valleys wide
Where the wild wind blows
Her heart is heavy
Her path unknown
The river's lament
She's all alone

[Verse 2]
Stones they glisten
Kissed by rain
Echoes linger
A sweet refrain
The violets bloom where silence grew
Secrets kept in the morning dew

[Bridge]
And who will listen
Who will stay
When the current steals the day?
Who will mend her fractured tune
Under the gaze of the pale
Pale moon?

[Chorus]
Oh
The river's lament
It flows
It flows
Through valleys wide
Where the wild wind blows
Her heart is heavy
Her path unknown
The river's lament
She's all alone

[Outro]
The violin cries
Her strings unwind
Like the river's song
A thread unbinds
A timeless hymn
Through dusk and dawn
The river's lament
Forever drawn
