Driftwood Ghost

Verse 1: Cold wind hums through the cedar trees, River bends like a silver seam. Your name still floats on the autumn tide, Whispered low in the willow’s sigh. Pre-Chorus: And I wait where the shoreline fades, Footsteps swallowed by the waves. Chorus: And I am just a driftwood ghost, Rolling where the water goes. Lost between the sky and shore, Calling out but you're no more. Verse 2: Lantern light on an empty dock, Shadows dance where we used to talk. I trace the echoes of your voice, Fading soft like the tide’s own choice. Pre-Chorus: And I wait where the shoreline fades, Footsteps swallowed by the waves. Chorus: And I am just a driftwood ghost, Rolling where the water goes. Lost between the sky and shore, Calling out but you're no more. Verse 3: Barefoot steps on the frozen ground, Every mile is a hollow sound. Your old coat still hangs by the door, Fraying threads I don’t mend no more. Bridge: If I let go, will the river know To carry me where wildflowers grow? Or will I stay where the shadows lean, A lonesome voice in the evergreens? Outro: Cold wind hums through the cedar trees, River bends like a silver seam. If I should leave with the autumn tide, Would you call my name on the other side?
