By the weeping willow
In the fogs embrace
A shadow on the water
With a haunting face
Moonlight cuts the darkness
Whispers float around
Echoes of the past
In the night resound
The bayou sings her secrets
With a ghostly plea
Ripples tell the tales
Of what eyes can't see
Hold your heart close
Hear the moons soft cry
Not all tales end
With a goodbye
Hear her cry in the silence
Deep sorrows song
Pray you don't meet her
Where the shadows throng
The bayou sings her secrets
With a ghostly plea
Ripples tell the tales
Of what eyes can't see
Hold your heart close
Hear the moons soft cry
Not all tales end
With a goodbye
Heed the bayous tale
Let it chill your soul
Some mysteries remain
Best left untold
