The River Is Near
Whispers of Nature: Embracing Twilight by the River
Lyrics
What is that mellow whisper
Curiosity about a gentle, soft sound.
Sonorous and soothing
Describing the sound as rich and comforting.
Rising like a star above the canyon?
Wondering about a sound rising like a star over a canyon.
Accompanying the crescent moon
Noticing the sound accompanying the crescent moon.
Awake past all the others
Being awake while others are asleep.
The weathered stone is cold beneath our feet
Feeling the coldness of weathered stone beneath the feet.
A flame still pierced the darkness
Despite darkness, a flame persists.
when the night arrived
The flame persists when the night arrives.
Every shade of blue
Observing various shades of blue in the sky.
Painted through the sky
The sky is painted with different hues of blue.
Oh dear
Expressing a sense of endearment or concern.
Stand close to me
A call to stand close for support or intimacy.
The river is near
Announcing the proximity of a river.
Lifting through the atmosphere
Describing the river's presence in the atmosphere.
A melody set free
Referring to a liberated melody in the air.
As birds spread wings into the twilight
Comparing the melody to birds spreading wings at twilight.
Pacing the pathways
Walking along paths covered in vibrant leaves.
Of brilliant colored leaves
Describing the brilliance of colored leaves on the pathways.
Every step's a deeper shade of green
Every step brings a deeper shade of green.
Precious are the tiny stones
Highlighting the value of small stones that fit in one's palm.
That fit inside your palm
Suggesting an action of bringing stones to one's mother.
Bring them to your mother
Connecting the stones to a homeward song.
When you sing the homeward song
Repeating the call to stand close, emphasizing the river's proximity.
Oh dear
A repeated expression of endearment or concern.
Stand close to me
Repeating the call to stand close for support or intimacy.
The river is near
Reiterating the presence of the nearby river.
