Lanterns on the bridge tonight
Red moons over running black
People stop to make a wish and
I stop wishing you came back
Children chase the paper tigers
Old men talk beside the rail
Someone sells warm chestnuts laughing
Someone hums an ancient scale
I am learning how to stand here
In a crowd and be alone
Let the river take the colors
Let the night become a road
Lanterns on the bridge
Burning soft above the river
I release one for your name
And one for what I did not give her
Lanterns on the bridge
Carry what my mouth refused
If the water reaches morning
Let it carry me there too
I remember your red scarf and
How it brightened in the rain
I remember thinking beauty
Was a thing that had to stay
Now I know the river teaches
Every light to move along
Even love, when held too tightly
Loses air inside the song
So I stand beneath the lanterns
With my empty hands in view
Not a saint and not a victim
Only someone missing you
Lanterns on the bridge
Burning soft above the river
I release one for your name
And one for what I did not give her
Lanterns on the bridge
Drift until the dark is kind
Somewhere past the final archway
I will leave this hope behind
