[Intro – distant river ambience, warm tanpura drone, delicate sitar phrases] (no words) ⸻ [Verse 1] Lantern light upon the water Midnight moving soft and slow And the river keeps a secret Only quiet hearts can know Every shadow feels like memory Every silence feels alive Like the whole night breathing gently As your hand moves close to mine ⸻ [Build] Slowly now… hear the water speaking… Let the whole night open like a flame… ⸻ [Drop] When the river knows Through the dark through the gold Every hidden part of me learns to let go When the river knows No more fear no disguise Only two souls moving softly through endless skies ⸻ [Break – atmospheric] (sitar improvisation + airy female layers) through the silence… through the flame… ⸻ [Verse 2] There’s a warmth beneath the stillness Like the earth after the rain And the way your eyes still find me Feels like healing something deep All the nights that moved around us Feel softer than before Like the river in the distance Already knew this love ⸻ [Build] Higher now… keep breathing… Feel the whole sky opening around us… ⸻ [Final Drop – emotional cinematic lift] When the river knows Like the moon meets the tide Every quiet part of me comes alive When the river knows Through the night through the light Only hearts becoming endless in this quiet life ⸻ [Outro – long atmospheric fade] (sitar + river ambience + warm drones) when the river knows… (sitar slowly dissolving into river sounds and silence)
