Lyric

The wind hums a tune through the willow trees

A whisper of sorrow rides the gentle breeze

Lanterns sway, their glow growing faint

Among reeds that murmur a mournful complaint

A soft wail drifts where the river bends

A lover’s lament the night air defends

Reflections quiver in the water’s embrace

Shadows and lights waltz in ghostly grace

Oh, lantern’s flame, flicker and sigh

Carrying stories to the starlit sky

Lonely hearts and whispers forlorn

Float on the river till the break of morn

The reeds bend low, bowing to the night

A court of whispers cloaked in pale light

The spectral rhythm calls, haunting, sweet

Pulling us closer with its aching beat

Faint echoes of a sax and a fleeting thrill

The sound of longing, the night grows still

Caught in the music, the soul gently sways

Lost in the mist of dim lunar rays

Oh, lantern’s flame, flicker and sigh

Carrying stories to the starlit sky

Lonely hearts and whispers forlorn

Float on the river till the break of morn
