Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in golden haze
A chipped Formica, bygone days
Coffee steams, a silent plea
Rio whispers just for me.
Old man Silva, weathered and slow
Watches the waves ebb and flow
Sipping his black, a knowing glance
Lost in a samba, a forgotten dance.
Rio ghosts on a sugar sand shore
Lost loves linger, forevermore
Bossa nova sighs, a gentle ache
Memories surface, for goodness sake.
Young Isabella, eyes so bright
Dreams of stardom in the fading light
Practicing steps, a hopeful spin
Wishing for fortunes to roll right in.
Rio ghosts on a sugar sand shore
Lost loves linger, forevermore
Bossa nova sighs, a gentle ache
Memories surface, for goodness sake.
The fisherman mends his tangled net
Stories of mermaids he hasn't forgot yet
Salt on his skin, a life at sea
A lonely rhythm for you and me.
Rio ghosts on a sugar sand shore
Lost loves linger, forevermore
Bossa nova sighs, a gentle ache
Memories surface, for goodness sake.
A stray dog sleeps in the afternoon sun
His playful journey has just begun
A simple life, a grateful heart
Playing his own, a separate part.
Rio ghosts on a sugar sand shore
Lost loves linger, forevermore
Bossa nova sighs, a gentle ache
Memories surface, forever awake.
Golden haze begins to fade
Secrets whispered, shadows played
Coffee's cold, the night descends
Rio's story never ends.
