Whispers of the Mekong

[Instrumental Introduction] Monochord whispers A river flows Zither hums where the lotus grows Saxophone breathes A gentle breeze The past and present weave with ease [Verse] Golden fields under a sky so wide A lone bamboo flute where the herons glide Footsteps echo on the earthen lane The village sleeps Dreams in refrain [Chorus] Strings that sing of home Of heart Notes that bind where worlds depart A melody of roots Of rain Soft as a whisper Deep as pain [Bridge] The monochord sighs A story untold Zither replies with strings of gold Saxophone calls A yearning cry Blending past and now Earth and sky [Outro] Monochord fades like the setting sun Zither still hums though the day is done Saxophone lingers A final breath A timeless song defying death
