The Lady of the Camellias

///*****/// [Intro: Hushed] [Soft Birdsong] [Stream Water] [Verse: Nostalgic] Between the plain and island green A silver ribbon runs so clean The poplars sway like dancers tall The willows whisper soft and small [Pre-Chorus: Restless] But the water clings to every bend It does not want to reach the end [Interlude] [Chorus: Yearning] (Ooh) Oh river, river, slow your tide The way you leave is the way you hide Oh river, river, silver thread You carry all the words unsaid [Verse 2: Reflective] The morning sun on glassy face A thousand sparks, a brief embrace But every ripple tells a lie That nothing beautiful must die [Bridge: Haunted] I stand where water meets the sky And watch the silver fade to sigh The poplars dance, they do not know This is the last place I can go [Soft Birdsong] [Outro: Whispered] [Stream Water] Between the plain and island green I was the river, you were the dream (stay with me)
