Track Insight / Lyrics
I pour the coffee, worn velvet apron cinched
Clouds of steam rise, like morning's second wish
River's secrets whispered low as the sun dips low
Chinaberry magnolias sway their petals' blush slow
Boots tap, hopeless romantic, in perpetual flight
Cat's eyes watch me through the twilight, with moonlight
In this place I find my peace, solitude's thin veil
River's dance urgings, a primal, reaching wail
A space to grapple with heart's wild, treacherous gale
To find solace, even in the longest, darkest fail
Oh, bayou night, you soothe my persistent wounds
Under stars' grand celestial banners, my restless moons
Your lumbering heartbeat's my lullaby of old
In this sanctuary, I let go, surrender the gold
Leaning over the porch rail, I breathe your scented air
As fireflies blink, like tiny lanterns come to share
Memories trickle down like Spanish moss in night's breeze
Dreams and ghosts and freedom, all in your lazy ease
The world's wild, untamed symphony, a song I cling to
In this moment, all my sorrows are gently anesthetized, too
In this place I find my peace, solitude's thin veil
River's dance urgings, a primal, reaching wail
A space to grapple with heart's wild, treacherous gale
To find solace, even in the longest, darkest fail
Oh, bayou night, you soothe my persistent wounds
Under stars' grand celestial banners, my restless moons
Your lumbering heartbeat's my lullaby of old
In this sanctuary, I let go, surrender the gold
As the dreamcatchers flutter, like delicate moths, unbound
Their threads waiting to ensnare the shadows, the doubts
For in the darkness, there's beauty 'round every bend
In the ancient heart of this place, I finally begin
Oh, bayou night, you heal my deepest scars
I'll find my way through the heartache, to those distant stars
Your endless rhythm unites me, sets my spirit free
In your timeless, peaceful embrace, that's where I'll be
And so I'll linger here 'til dawn's sweet light
Bayou's wise and ancient magic, my heart will keep tonight.
