[Verse] The road bends sharp where the cedars grow A whispered breeze A tale untold Dust on my boots From towns long gone I wander on, in gentle pace The world beside me fills the space [Chorus] Shadows on the water Dancing slow Flickers of faces I used to know The ripples fade But here I stay Embracing change In my own way [Verse 2] An old fence leans Its paint stripped bare The wind hums low Secrets in the air I trace the lines of a crumpled map Stories waiting in every gap [Prechorus] The stars stay silent As nights turn Every spark a guide at every turn [Chorus] Shadows on the water Dancing slow Flickers of faces I used to know The ripples fade But here I stay Embracing change In my own way [Bridge] The oak tree bends But never breaks The river flows In endless streams A moth to the flame I follow dreams
