I walk where the streetlights fade, no map in my hand Something in the silence keeps pulling me in I don't know what I'm mourning, I don't know what I lost But the river knows my footsteps, and it never asks the cost By the river, rain on stone, Long nights walking, always alone, Bus stop shelter, cold winds bite, Empty pockets, no fire tonight. Street songs echo, broken deals, Second-hand shoes, the hunger feels, Dreams washed out where the water flows, Life keeps counting what I owe, ooh. I rhyme the struggle, soft and slow, City lights fade, but I still go, River keeps secrets, shadows stay, I carry the weight, day by day. By the river, I lose my way... Your love comes back like a tide at break of day... Down by the river, I called your name, Echoes of love, still burn like flame, Ooooh… I miss you so, Ooooh… I can’t let go. Shadows fall, but I see your eyes Memories rise, where the silence lies Oh, the night is long And you were the love that kept me warm
