Echoes on the Brooklyn Bridge

[Intro] [Chorus] Fog on the river, lights in the gray I watch my shadow as it drifts away Brooklyn whispers, the steel feels cold Holding a story, waiting to be told My heart is a ghost on the skyline tonight Fading into the electric light [Verse] Mist on the cables, a silver net cast The city breathes secrets I long to grasp Paint on my fingers, dust on my coat Caught in the rhythm of a neon note The bridge hums a hollow undertone While I wander lost and alone [Pre-Chorus] The river murmurs a soft decree Guiding me where I’m meant to be But my feet stay heavy, rooted to the ground In a sea of faces, I’m never found The fog draws a curtain, the stage is set For a dream I’ve not lived through yet [Chorus] Fog on the river, lights in the gray I watch my shadow as it drifts away Brooklyn whispers, the steel feels cold Holding a story, waiting to be told My heart is a ghost on the skyline tonight Fading into the electric light [Verse] Yellowed paper, a ticket for one In my pocket, hidden from the sun By dawn, I could be gone without a trace Yet the skyline pleads for me to stay I watch my reflection in the oily tide No place to run, and nowhere to hide My identity, a smudge of blue Searching for something honest and true [Bridge] Synthesizers hum in the quiet dark Waiting for a spark to ignite the spark Dreams blur into the misty haze Lost in the maze of Manhattan’s maze I’ll tear the ticket, take the fall Standing strong against the wall Tomorrow’s secret I’m ready to keep While the world around me falls asleep [Chorus] Fog on the river, lights in the gray I watch my shadow as it drifts away Brooklyn whispers, the steel feels cold Holding a story, waiting to be told My heart is a ghost on the skyline tonight Fading into the electric light [Outro]
