Evening Song by the Water

小时候，小时候…… A place one may have never been— where waters flow like dreams, and hills wear evergreen. Mountain blossoms blush through the mist and rain, where bamboo leans along the river’s edge, egrets dive for fish, and the fisherman hums as his lantern glows. 小时候…… No mountains of silver or gold reside there, yet footsteps come from far away— white cranes linger, foxes slip through shade, and wandering swords forget their blade. The mulberry trees by the riverbank have faded, soft rains ripple the stone bridge’s blurred reflection. She who tended gourds no longer wakes, the child who chased crabs now walks slower ways. 小时候，小时候…… So sing me that song with the silence between, where shadows remember the things we have seen. The past drifts light on a river of sound, past flowering paths where old tales are found. Wait for me, dream-town so mild, wait for the girl once cradled by your water, so quiet. Evening songs float out from the shore, and the wind hums low— softly, softly, so. ————————————————— These lyrics are written and owned by Rachel’s Original (Rachel Liu).
