Slow River

[Verse 1] We were a fire, burning wild and bright Two souls entwined, bathed in golden light But then the wind came, a sudden, chilling blow Scattered the embers, left just a fading glow [Pre-Chorus] Our love, it craved the closeness, hand in hand Like a flame needing air, oxygen from the land Now we're gasping, smoke swirling in the air Struggling to fan the flames, a love beyond compare [Chorus] The miles stretch out, a river slow and wide Carrying us further down this painful tide Two ships in the night, passing through the dark Hearts still beating as one, leaving an aching mark [Verse 2] Months crawl by, each day a heavy stone Silence hangs between us, heavy and unknown Like fog at sea, it hides the shore we seek Lost in the distance, is it all too weak? [Chorus] The miles stretch out, a river slow and wide Carrying us further down this painful tide Two ships in the night, passing through the dark Hearts still beating as one, leaving an aching mark [Bridge] But even in the hush, a flicker I see A spark of love, a constant memory A beacon in the darkness, guiding us on This bond we share, forever strong [Bridge] But even in the hush, a flicker I see A spark of love, a constant memory A beacon in the darkness, guiding us on This bond we share, forever strong [Chorus] The miles stretch out, a river slow and wide Carrying us further down this painful tide Two ships in the night, passing through the dark Hearts still beating as one, leaving an aching mark [Outro] We'll find our way back, through fog and distant shore For a love like ours, forevermore
