Midnight whispers through my screen door, shadows dance on the floor,
This empty room echoes your name, but my heart's too sore to ignore.
The bed's cold as a winter creek, sheets tangled like my mind,
The moon's a pale-faced witness to the tears I left behind.
Oh, I'm a lonely river, thirsty for your rain,
Parched bones ache for the mercy of your sweet love's refrain.
Wrap me in your warm embrace, let your touch heal these scars,
Without you, darlin', I'm a broke down guitar.
I play these dusty records, but they skip on every vow,
Your laughter's just a ghost now, hauntin' every empty hour.
I sip this whiskey lullaby, but it burns like your goodbye,
The jukebox hums our song why'd you let love die
Oh, I'm a lonely river, thirsty for your rain,
Parched bones ache for the mercy of your sweet love's refrain.
Wrap me in your warm embrace, let your touch heal these scars,
Without you, darlin I'm a broke down guitar.
Dawn breaks, but it's still dark your love's my missin spark,
This empty bottle's my confession, scribbled in the bark.
If you ever hear this plea, darlin, come set me free,
Cause a heart without its rhythm ain't got no melody.
