Whiskey River Blues

[Instrumental] Verse: The sunshine fades into a blood-red sky, Where shadows loom over forgotten dreams, Moonlight whispers of secrets long buried, In the stillness of a world torn at the seams. Chorus: Oh, the string band echoes through the hollow night, Their melodies haunting like a distant cry, As the pretty young thing twirls in the downpour, Lost in a dance, beneath a weeping sky. Verse: The high heel lady, a ghost in the mist, Her bitter laughter echoes off the stone, The business man nods in a trance-like state, Lost in a world where he's never alone. Chorus: Oh, the coyote's eyes gleam in the darkness, A solitary witness to the city's decay, While the pack of young boys, wild and restless, Find release in the madness of the night's sway. Bridge: In this twisted world of broken illusions, Where each soul seeks solace in their own way, The music plays on, a mournful song, For the lost souls who dance 'til break of day. Outro: Sunshine fading on the, good times, Whispers of a world, beyond the grave, The band plays the final note, at the silent, end of day. [horns, blues outro] [NO VOCALS] [blues guitar] [OUTRO]
