[Verse 1] Snow falls like ashes on the trail, The wind is low, the night is pale. His horse walks slow, the stars are thin, A ghost behind, a fire within. His coat is torn, his heart is worn, He’s rode through silence, cold and scorn. No name to call, no town to find, Just memories stuck like spurs in time. [Chorus – slow and low] Moonlight on the saddle, snow upon his skin, Love is just a shadow that never lets him in. He rides through frozen valleys, he hums a long-lost tune… And his heart won’t stop bleeding beneath the silver moon. [Verse 2] He left her crying in July, Now winter rides across the sky. He sees her face in every hill, He hears her voice when all is still. They said he chose the open land, But truth was colder than the sand. He feared her love more than the gun, So now he rides — from everyone. [Chorus – again, heavier harmonies] Moonlight on the saddle, snow upon his skin, Regret's a rope around his soul he’ll never pull back in. He rides through frozen valleys, chasing something gone too soon… And his heart keeps on breaking beneath the silver moon. [Bridge – spoken or whispered] The wolves don’t follow him. The stars don’t guide him. Even God forgot to ride beside him. [Final Chorus – faded, dying out] Moonlight on the saddle, silence in the trees… He’s riding toward a memory, lost in winter’s freeze. He rides through frozen valleys, no one left to croon… But his name’s still echoing beneath the silver moon.
