ECHO IN THE UNDERTOW

[Verse 1] The tide pulls me in when the lights go low Your name still echoes in the undertow No map, no trace, just the air you bend I reach for you where the night won’t end [Pre-Chorus 1] I’ve been sailing blind, chasing your ghost Waves don’t lie—they cut the most [Chorus] You’re my midnight flame Still burning after the oceans came You whisper through the storm, soft and slow The deeper I dive, the less I know No shore in sight, no rescue light— But I’d drown again if it felt this right [Verse 2] You speak in silence, in a sacred key A song that lingers just out of reach Salt and smoke in the air I breathe Where you touched the tide—it won’t ever leave [Pre-Chorus 2] Still adrift where you let go Your current knows what I won’t show [Chorus] You’re my midnight flame Still burning after the oceans came You whisper through the storm, soft and slow The deeper I dive, the less I know No shore in sight, no rescue light— But I’d drown again if it felt this right [Bridge – Extended Moment / Open Vocal] Dark horizon, compass spun What we had can’t be outrun You pulled the captain out of me Now I’m lost in memory’s sea [Final Chorus] You’re my midnight flame Still burning where the water came You whisper through the storm, soft and slow The deeper I go, the less I know No shore in sight, no rescue light— But I’d drown again if it felt this right [Outro] Still haunted... still haunted... By that midnight... flame...

Another awesome, emotive lyric that draws one in. I am in absolute awe that such beauty pours from your essence REPEATEDLY, FREQUENTLY as though there are infinite love stemmed feels, appeals, ideals, reveals, painful ordeals and repeals, heart steals and steels - the full, endless course love-meal. Wow ... CayCay
