Track Insight / Lyrics
A lone guitar strums dembow rhythm in my ear
Marimba trills and horns punctuate the air
Dancing footsteps echo on weathered boards so bright
Feet moving swift as deer in twilight light
Congas pulse beneath my hands, the beat takes hold
As I lose myself in rhythm, young and bold
Time stands still, the world fades away
In this fleeting moment, I'm not sprawled out in dismay
I'm on fire, alive, drowning in the sea
Of this fleet-footed life, wild and free
Soleil lamento, pulse of the bayou night
Footstep serenade, shadows play and ignite
In the flicker of twilight, I come alive
With every beat, a prayer, my heart starts to thrive
Wind whisks through Spanish moss, a ghostly sigh
Jagged cypress rise like skeletal fingers to the sky
I spin and leap, a firefly's reckless flight
As starlight bounces off the bayou, crystal bright
The music swirls, a hurricane of sound
I lose myself in the storm, and I am found
Time stands still, the world fades away
In this fleeting moment, I'm not sprawled out in dismay
I'm on fire, alive, drowning in the sea
Of this fleet-footed life, wild and free
Soleil lamento, pulse of the bayou night
Footstep serenade, shadows play and ignite
In the flicker of twilight, I come alive
With every beat, a prayer, my heart starts to thrive
The stars align, a constellation born
A shooting star blazes, and I'm reborn
Into this moment, brief but sublime
Where music and heart merge, a fraction of time
Soleil lamento, pulse of the bayou night
Footstep serenade, shadows play and ignite
In the flicker of twilight, I come alive
With every beat, a prayer, my heart starts to thrive
As dusk descends, the rhythms fade away
Candlelight flickers, the night's first sway
I stand still, heart pounding, breathless and high
The bayou's secrets lingering, twilight's sigh.
