Whispers Of The Willow
Song lyrics
In the shadow of a willow, where the quiet waters flow,
Lies a heart that’s weighed down heavy, with a silent tale of woe.
Underneath the moon’s soft whisper, in the chill of night’s embrace,
Rests a soul that’s lost in longing, for a distant, vanished grace.
(Chorus)
Oh, the woe, it sings in whispers, through the corridors of time,
Echoes of forgotten heartbeats, in a melancholy rhyme.
In the dance of lonely shadows, where the weary spirits roam,
Lies the song of silent sorrow, in the place we used to call home.
(Verse 2)
Through the mist of fading memories, where the dreams of old lie deep,
Wanders love, a ghostly specter, in the halls of restless sleep.
In the grip of silent yearning, where the tears refuse to show,
Lives a tale of quiet anguish, in the depths of woe.
(Chorus)
Oh, the woe, it flows like rivers, through the canyons of the heart,
Carving paths of deep reflection, where the light and dark depart.
In the echoes of the twilight, where the silent breezes blow,
Resonates the song of sorrow, in the whispers of woe.
(Bridge)
In the hush of twilight’s fading, in the space between the stars,
Lingers hope, a faint reminder, of the healing from our scars.
Yet the night sings on in sorrow, as the lonely hours crawl,
And the heart keeps on remembering, the sweetest pain of all.
(Chorus)
Oh, the woe, it weaves its story, in the tapestry of night,
A ballet of the broken, under the moon’s soft light.
In the quiet of the darkness, where the silent sorrows grow,
There we find our shared humanity, in the embrace of woe.
(Outro)
So we sing the song of sorrow, let it soar and let it rise,
For in the heart of every woe, a hidden strength lies.
And in the melody of mourning, in the gentle ebb and flow,
We find the beauty in the sadness, in the dance of woe.
