Roaming Spirit

[Verse] In the stillness of the evening, where the moonlight hits the earth, There's a spirit gently wandering, in the place that gave it birth. A heart that's ever restless, whispers secrets to the breeze, From the fields of golden harvest to the reach of ancient trees. [Verse 2] He once walked this broken valley, with a twenty-acre heart, Dreams that soared like eagles, now as ghosts, they drift apart. The farmhouse stands in silence, windows dusty with the years, Echoes of his laughter, now just whispers with his tears. [Chorus] Oh, the roaming spirit cries, through the midnight sky, Chasing down the memories, of a life he won't deny. With every step, he lingers, where his body used to be, A life forgotten by the world, but he's bound eternally. [Verse 3] In the churchyard by the willow, by a stone worn down by time, Lies the body of the dreamer, left to nature's steady climb. Yet his soul won't rest in darkness, though his bones are weathered gray, He yearns for home and family, but this world's a brighter day. [Bridge] Old guitar still in the corner, strumming chords nobody hears, Playing tunes that kept him going, through the long, uncounted years. Hollow strings now rust in silence, like his heart worn thin and true, Roaming spirit sings the ballads, only time and shadows knew. [Verse 4] He lost the woman he called darling, to the weary roads of old, Now he seeks her in the twilight, in the air that's turning cold. Where the river bends and whispers, he stands lonely on the shore, Longing for a warmth that's gone, a love he'll feel no more.
