[Intro – slide guitar + ambient pad] a single note bends, hangs in the night like breath. the silence after it is the weight of love, the echo of loss. [Verse 1 – falsetto, soft and fragile] i saw the river break when you were gone, echoes in the water, but the voice was wrong. the feathers fell quiet, the light turned thin, and the ache kept singing from where you’d been. every chord i play is a wound i keep, a swan in the silence, a song in the deep. [Chorus 1 – soaring falsetto, bluesy lift] ohhh swan… sing your song for me, in the water’s glass i see memory. ohhh swan… final cry, final gift, your silence drowns me, but it makes me lift. [Verse 2 – falsetto, layered harmonies] your shadow’s on the lake, your voice in the breeze, a hymn in the branches, a ghost in the leaves. the loyal don’t wander, the faithful don’t fade, your vow still lingers in the notes we made. every slide of the strings bleeds the truth i know, the song of a swan never lets me go. [Chorus 2 – soaring falsetto, extended] ohhh swan… sing your song for me, in the water’s glass i see memory. ohhh swan… final cry, final gift, your silence drowns me, but it makes me lift. fly through the night, i’ll follow your flame, swans don’t forget, i’ll never change. [Bridge – instrumental + falsetto ad-libs] [guitar solo, violins rising, falsetto runs over the top] ooohhh… ahhhhhh… cry out the song… cry out the song… [Chorus 3 – falsetto, cinematic climax] ohhh swan… sing your song for me, in the water’s glass i see memory. ohhh swan… last refrain, last embrace, your silence holds me, your love takes its place. [Outro – whispered falsetto + guitar fade] a swan only sings once… but you live in the note forever. forever… forever… [guitar bends slow, fading into silence]
