Whispers Through the Willows (Alt)

[Verse] The moon casts shadows where we used to meet, A ghostly rhythm in the midnight beat. I tread the trail where we carved our names, But now the echo's just a hollow refrain. [Verse 2] I still see your face in the whispering trees, Your voice rides soft on the sorrowful breeze. The stars seem to flicker, a mournful plea, As if they remember what you meant to me. [Chorus] Whispers through the willows, they call your name, A haunting melody in love's lost frame. My footsteps falter on this dusky stage, Locked in the verses of a lonely page. [Bridge] Every creak of the branches, your laughter returns, In the flicker of torches, my aching heart yearns. The dance we once knew now fades to the past, But the shadows remind me, love seldom lasts. [Verse 3] I've run to the rivers, I’ve begged them to know, Where do the broken-hearted lovers go? But they just ripple, a sardonic jest, Flowing through the memories I suppress. [Chorus] Whispers through the willows, they call your name, A haunting melody in love's lost frame. My footsteps falter on this dusky stage, Locked in the verses of a lonely page.
