(Verse 1)
The banjo cries on a moonlit hill,
Your empty chair, it haunts me still.
Dusty fiddle sings a lonesome tune,
My heart’s a wound beneath the June.
(Verse 2)
You rode off where the river bends,
Left my love like a broken fence.
Memories echo through these pines,
Your laughter fades with passing time.
(Chorus)
Oh, my darlin’, bluegrass blue,
Every chord still hums of you.
Steel strings weep, the mandolin moans—
I’m a ghost in this hollow home.
(Bridge)
The train whistle wails your name,
But these tracks don’t lead where you’ve gone.
I’ll strum these tears till kingdom come,
For the love that’s lost and never won.
(Outro)
Sunrise finds me on this porch again,
Whiskey-voiced, callin’ the wind.
Your shadow dances in the dew—
This bluegrass soul still longs for you.
