Midnight on the River

Midnight calls my name again

Streetlights shaking in the rain

Footsteps fading, one by one

Another day is finally done

I thought silence would feel cold

But it wraps me up in gold

Every word I couldn’t say

Floats like smoke and drifts away

Midnight on the river side

I let your shadow pass me by

If love was meant to disappear

At least it found me here

Water mirrors city scars

Broken moons and trembling stars

I see myself in every wave

Braver than I used to be

All the promises we made

Sleeping softly, unafraid

Midnight on the river side

Your name dissolves into the tide

I don’t chase what’s left behind

I’m learning how to be just fine

Maybe hearts are meant to roam

Every goodbye leads us home

Midnight on the river side

I breathe out love, I keep my pride

If tomorrow feels unclear

Tonight, I’m safe right here

The river moves… and so do I
