Rivers Running Dry

Hazelwood Lament

Acoustic Folk

About

Delicate fingerpicking and subtle strumming on acoustic guitar underpin this heartfelt acoustic folk ballad, with organic vocals soaring gently amid natural reverb that evokes a quiet, empty room. The minimalist production highlights raw emotion and lyrical storytelling, capturing intimate narratives of loss and longing through sparse arrangements and unprocessed resonance. Warm yet melancholic tones draw listeners into personal reflections on faded memories and unspoken hopes.

Lyrics

Faded photographs on a dusty shelf A house, gold rivers we crossed Now they're running dry shadows Of summers that slipped on by Now they're running dry shadows Of summers that slipped on by Oh, the road we wandered Hearts heavy with longing Tearing at the heart Your voice, I still carry in me home Through the forest, through the forest We'll fall in tears One day the dawn will mend What broke threads of memory One day the dawn will mend What broke threads of storing into hope Woven into hope We'll find a way Through the endless grave To the fire where we used to stay Oh, the road we wandered Heavy with longing Tearing at the heart In the quiet nights Your voice, I still hear Carrying me home Three in me home Through the fallen tears Whispers on the wind Fading soft and slow Calling me back Oh, the road we wandered Hearts heavy with longing Tearing at the heart Fading soft and slow Oh, the road we wandered Through the fallen tears Fading soft and slow Through the fallen tears Fading soft and slow Fading soft and slow Fading soft and slow
