[Intro - Whisper, Piano, Banjo dripping like water] Shhh... [Verse 1 - Close-mic whisper] She walks underneath the midnight sky Barefoot in the black water, moon in her eyes You can hear her calling, calling once again Soft as mist on cypress, where the night begins [Chorus 1 - Soaring layered] Moonlight Mist... I hear you calling Moonlight Mist... through the trees Your voice like whispers in the wind Glistening... glistening on me [Verse 2 - Warm intimacy, reveal it's personal] Moonlight mist glistening on her skin Silver on her shoulders, where the wind has been But wait... she's calling out my name Through the cypress, is this real or in my brain? [Chorus 2 - Bigger] Moonlight Mist... you're calling out my name Moonlight Mist... I hear you through the trees Is it my imagination? Or a longing down inside of me? [Bridge - Instrumental + Spoken Whisper - NOT sung, direction only] [Instrumental break, banjo and dark cello duet, whispered spoken words, very soft, not sung] [whispered in a haunting. voice.] fiddles weep while banjos pray... [Full band drops to piano only, female whisper lead] Is it my imagination... For my longing to know... The secrets hidden... In the swamps of gold... She knows whats buried there... [Final Chorus - Enormous Liberating Climax - Full Gothic Metal + Banjo - Female soaring] Moonlight Mist! She's calling out my name! Moonlight Mist! Through the midnight trees! Her voice echoing like whispers in the wind! Leading me back to the swamps of gold! Moonlight Mist! Glistening on her skin! Calling me home to the secrets within! [Outro - Soft peaceful piano and ethereal ambience, lone banjo] [Whispered] Swamps of gold... [Whispered] She's still calling... In the mist...
