Wandering Shadow

[Verse 1]
The sun dips low
The fields turn gray
A crow takes flight
It fades away
Dust in the air
A whispered name
Echoes of lives that never came

[Chorus]
Wandering shadows
Where do you go?
Down through the valleys
Where cold winds blow
Do you carry the dreams we left behind?
Or are you just lost
Like this heart of mine?

[Verse 2]
The river bends
Its voice is faint
Carving stories in the ancient paint
A stone skipped once
Now sinks to rest
Like fleeting hopes in a weary chest

[Chorus]
Wandering shadows
Where do you go?
Down through the valleys
Where cold winds blow
Do you carry the dreams we left behind?
Or are you just lost
Like this heart of mine?

[Bridge]
Do you hear the rustling trees?
Do they call out
Or do they tease?
Every path
A thread unspun
Chasing the dark
Outrunning the sun

[Solo]
