Verse 1:
In a twilight town where the wind still sighs,
We walked hand in hand 'neath the cobalt skies.
Your laughter danced like leaves in the fall,
But whispers of silence now echo the hall.

Chorus:
Oh, where do the lost lovers go?
As the rivers of time gently flow.
We drifted apart like clouds in the sky,
Just fading silhouettes as the night passes by.

Verse 2:
There’s a bench by the oak where we carved our names,
Now it stands lonely, caught in its claims.
The moon shines on dreams that we thought would last,
But love’s gentle current has swept them away fast.

Chorus:
Oh, where do the lost lovers go?
As the rivers of time gently flow.
We drifted apart like ghosts on the run,
Two hearts in the shadows, forever undone.

Bridge:
Through the fields of gold where the wildflowers bloom,
I search for your smile, but I find only gloom.
Each memory fleeting, like whispers in rain,
A symphony written with sorrow and pain.

Verse 3:
In the lantern light, I still hear your name,
A flickering flame, though it's never the same.
The stories we shared now feel like a dream,
In the depths of my heart, you're a soft silver beam.

Chorus:
Oh, where do the lost lovers go?
As the rivers of time gently flow.
We drifted apart like ships in the sea,
Lost in the currents, forever just me.

Outro:
So here I remain with my heart open wide,
Like a faded photograph, where love used to abide.
The world keeps on turning, while I stand alone,
In the echo of memories, your spirit has grown.
