[Verse]
The moon hangs low on the edge of the pines,
A bottle of bourbon, and a heart full of lines.
The porch light flickers, a ghost in the glow,
Your shadow still lingers where you used to go.
[Verse 2]
The creak of the screen door, it whispers your name,
The scent of your perfume still burns like a flame.
The wind hums a tune that we used to hum,
In the quiet of night, I still hear you come.
[Chorus]
Oh, smoky nightfall, you're heavy and true,
You carry her memory, a bittersweet hue.
A love that won't fade, no matter the fight,
You're the shadow she left in the dark of the night.
[Verse 3]
The gravel road winds through the fields of regret,
Each mile a reminder of things I forget.
The stars in the sky—they don't shine the same,
Since the night that she left, I don't play their game.
[Bridge]
There's a crack in my voice when I sing her song,
A trembling ache that can't be undone.
Her love was a river, now I'm left to drown,
In the depths of her leaving, in the still of this town.
[Chorus]
Oh, smoky nightfall, you're heavy and true,
You carry her memory, a bittersweet hue.
A love that won't fade, no matter the fight,
You're the shadow she left in the dark of the night.
