Silent River from Saddlebag Songs by Munich Prairie Sons

Sitting on the porch, watching the night settle in,
The silence here is louder than the words we never said,
I wonder if you’re out there, sitting by that river we both loved,
Thinking about the times we spent, and the way we drifted apart.

I still see your shadow in the places you used to be,
The chair by the window, the spot on the couch where you’d sit,
And I can’t help but wonder if you’re still searching,
For the peace that eluded us when we were together.

The silent river flows through the night,
Carrying with it the echoes of what we once were,
Each moment a reminder of the distance between us,
And the quiet that lingers, where words once filled the air.

I take a sip of wine, the glass cold against my lips,
But it doesn’t warm the emptiness inside,
The nights are longer now, the silence deeper,
Without the sound of your laughter to fill the space.

I thought leaving would bring clarity, a sense of freedom,
But all it brought was the realization of what we lost,
The memories of us together, once so strong, now fading,
Like the colors of the sunset as the night takes over.

The silent river flows through the night,
Carrying with it the echoes of what we once were,
Each moment a reminder of the distance between us,
And the quiet that lingers, where words once filled the air.

As the stars come out and the world grows still,
I know that you’re out there, somewhere by that river,
And though the silence is heavy, I find a strange comfort,
In knowing that we’re both searching for the same peace.
