[Verse 1] Fog rolls low on the bayou line Spanish moss in the pale moonlight Your voice still drifts through the trees Like a ghost on a southern breeze [Verse 2] Old wood porch and a screen door cry Crickets sing while the night goes by I swear I hear you call my name But the water don’t sound the same [Chorus] Where the water keeps your name I go back again and again Every ripple, every tide Holds the love we left behind Mon cœur still don’t understand How you slipped right through my hands If the river don’t set me free I’ll just drown in your memory [Verse 3] Lantern light and a drifting song I been holdin’ on too long But the past don’t fade away It just learns how to stay [Bridge] (cinematic, airy) Laissez les vents carry me home… Through the dark where I stand alone… [Final Chorus] Where the water keeps your name I still burn inside the flame If love’s a road I can’t outrun I’ll keep walkin’ ‘til I’m gone
