Mariana

[Verse 1]
The moonlight spills on the dusty street,
Soft wind whispers where we used to meet.
Your laughter lingers in the air,
But now it fades, you’re not there.
Every shadow feels like your face,
But I reach, and it’s just empty space.

[Chorus]
Oh Mariana, where did you go?
Left me drowning in a river’s slow flow.
I call your name, it echoes wide,
But I can’t find you, I’ve lost my guide.
Oh Mariana, my heart’s untied.

[Verse 2]
The bongo hums like my aching chest,
Each beat a memory, a love confessed.
The flute cries softly, just like me,
Lost in the waves of a restless sea.
Your touch is a ghost on my weary skin,
A battle of love I can’t ever win.

[Prechorus]
Tell me, did I hold too tight?
Or did I let you slip through the night?

[Chorus]
Oh Mariana, where did you go?
Left me drowning in a river’s slow flow.
I call your name, it echoes wide,
But I can’t find you, I’ve lost my guide.
Oh Mariana, my heart’s untied.

[Bridge]
Strings cry low, they mourn like me,
Muted guitar hums in harmony.
If love’s a dance, I’ve lost the tune,
A lonely dancer beneath the moon.
