The Shadows of Moscow

[Verse] In the alleys where the lanterns softly glow, Moscow sighs in midnight's blackest cloak. Shadows dance where the bitter winds still blow, Secrets whisper, tales of love and smoke. [Verse 2] Through the fog, a nameless waltz drifts by, Melancholy notes that pull at dreams. Underneath the brooding winter sky, Murmurs haunt the city's frozen seams. [Chorus] Oh, Moscow nights, your beauty's like the snow, Dark and deep, with mysteries enshrined. Love concealed, where only shadows go, In your cold embrace, my heart entwined. [Verse 3] In the taverns, where the poets drink their fear, Crystal glasses filled with liquid night. Voices low, recounting ghosts of yesteryear, In this realm of shadow, none seek light. [Bridge] Oh, the moon hangs silent, like a jury, Over streets where lovers' footsteps fade. In the echoes of a fleeting fury, Stories of lost hearts in twilight made. [Verse 4] Winter's breath, it whispers through the trees, Softly sings a requiem of sorrow. Every star up high seems but a tease, Promises of perhaps a dark tomorrow.
