The River That Forgot His Name - Bao Binh
Rain has gone, but echoes stay
The river hums shades of gray
A lonely voice beneath the sky
Asking softly, "Tell me why?"
Footsteps through the silent field
Broken dreams that never healed
Pictures hanging, as so still
Time is pause, but love can kill
The river that forgot his name
Still whispers stories just the same
It took his breath but left the flame
Of love that will remain
The river that forgot his name
Still mirrors faces lost in rain
It hides the pain, it keeps the blame
But love still burns again
Ends in sorrow, cold and dry
Lift the past toward the sky
Ashes float where laughter played
Dreams dissolve but not decayed
The river that forgot his name
Still whispers stories just the same
It took his breath but left the flame
Of love that will remain
The river that forgot his name
Still mirrors faces lost in rain
It hides the pain, it keeps the blame
But love still burns again
In every drop, his memory calls
Through broken roofs, through shattered walls
The river flows, but not the same
It carries earth, unspoken flame
