[Intro]
Wind whispers over the lake, a breath between two hearts
Clouds drift, a quiet vigil where hope and fear take part
[Verse 1]
From the shore they stand, hands outstretched to the gray horizon
Calling a name that won’t come back, a lullaby of sorrow risin’
Her dress trembles with the wind, his shirt like a flag of need
Tears trace the quiet map of a moment that won’t recede
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word trembles, every breath a shattered vow
They search the mirror of water for a familiar sound now
[Chorus]
Where are you my light, where do you hide your smile?
We’re here on the edge, listening for a heartbeat’s mile
If you can hear us, please come back to the shore
We’re waiting in the dusk, we’re not closing the door
[Verse 2]
The lake reflects a cloudy sky, a veil of endless gray
Footsteps fall in rhythm with the wind’s soft, lonesome sway
Close in on tear-worn eyes, the voices quake and plead
In the hush of vastness, every second gnaws at their need
[Pre-Chorus]
The water keeps the secret of the tiny hands it kept
They hum a frightened lullaby for the child who’s not yet slept
[Chorus]
Where are you my light, where do you hide your smile?
We’re here on the edge, listening for a heartbeat’s mile
If you can hear us, please come back to the shore
We’re waiting in the dusk, we’re not closing the door
[Bridge]
Slow camera of fear, wide to close, eyes that spill like rain
The wind rearranges their courage, but the ache remains the same
[Chorus]
Where are you my light, where do you hide your smile?
We’re here on the edge, listening for a heartbeat’s mile
If you can hear us, please come back to the shore
We’re waiting in the dusk, we’re not closing the door
[Outro]
The lake keeps your whisper, the shore keeps their plea
Until the dawn returns the child to where love lets him be
