[Verse 1] I went walkin’ by the river, where the moonlight kissed the pine He was leanin’ ‘gainst the willow, sayin’ he’d be only mine But further up the ridgeline, in the hush of cedar blue Another voice was callin’ — and my heart split clean in two [Chorus] Oh Aphrodite, what have you done? Set fire to my soul with the touch of the sun One wears the storm, the other the flame And I’m tangled in wildflowers, whisperin’ their names [Verse 2] The first one sings like summer rain, and laughs like it’s a sin The second holds the silence like a secret locked within They never meet, those shadows, but they haunt the same old trail And I’m caught between their footsteps, wearin’ love like a veil [Chorus] Oh Aphrodite, what spell did you weave? My heart’s a fiddle playin’ sorrow on its sleeve One walks in rhythm, the other runs free But both carry pieces that belong to me [Bridge] I asked the stars to guide me, but the sky just turned away Even the night won’t answer when the goddess wants to play She’s dancin’ in the fireflies, laughin’ at the cost And I’m standin’ in the thicket, not sure what I’ve lost [Verse 3] So I’ll sing it to the holler, and I’ll whisper to the stream Of two boys in the shadows of a gold and broken dream One day I’ll make the choosin’ — or maybe I’ll be gone Driftin’ down the mountain with a lonesome lover’s song [Final Chorus] Oh Aphrodite, queen of the rose You planted your garden where the wild heart grows One waits in sunlight, the other in shade And I’m the girl in the valley that love nearly made [Outro] So if you find me wanderin’ where the sweet honeysuckle bends Know I loved two souls, and they were never just friends
