Or autumn's mirage?"He smiles, his gaze a subtle barrage [Verse 3]Under the moon, their cups were raisedIn every word, a thorn was placedEven sorrow without embraceSeemed to shine in that drunken haze [Chorus]Am I a flower, or only a shade?The moon offers no reply, though I prayedIn every smile, no truth remainsYet still, I'm drawn into the flame [Verse 4]When morning's signs crept into the roomThe paper door was brushed by gloom"I'll return," he said, then turned awayNo name, no promise — gone with the day [Outro]Birdsong dyes the sky anewThe night still clings like morning dewA tear falls as she combs her hairThe moon's regret stains rouge with care [Effect Sound: kingfisher sings] [Spoken Word]"And what the moon revealed...was the depth of a heart once dismissed in jest.Now begins the journey to chase the fading trace."
