Lyrics
## Verse 1
I woke up this mornin', sky painted in gray,
Dreams of redemption, just a whisper away.
The river's a-risin', with a tale to unfold,
In the heart of the Delta, where stories are told.
## Chorus
Oh, shadow on the Delta, take my troubles away,
Guide me through the night, into the break of day.
With a heart full of passion and a soul to mend,
In the rhythm of the blues, I find my friend.
## Verse 2
City lights are callin', but the road's been long,
Every step I wander, I hear that bluesy song.
Ain't no easy answers, in a world so wide,
But the truth of the music, is where I confide.
## Chorus
Oh, shadow on the Delta, take my troubles away,
Guide me through the night, into the break of day.
With a heart full of passion and a soul to mend,
In the rhythm of the blues, I find my friend.
## Bridge
Every chord's a heartbeat, every note's a tear,
In the depths of the night, the path becomes clear.
With strings a-hummin' and my worries aside,
I'm a traveler in the night, with nothin' to hide.
## Verse 3
So raise up your voices, let the music be free,
In the sway of the shadows, there's a place for me.
With the roots of tradition, and a modern flair,
The blues is my anchor, in this world of despair.
## Chorus
Oh, shadow on the Delta, take my troubles away,
Guide me through the night, into the break of day.
With a heart full of passion and a soul to mend,
In the rhythm of the blues, I find my friend.
## Outro
As the moonlight dances on the river's end,
In the echoes of the night, I find my friend.
Shadow on the Delta, let the music play,
In the arms of the blues, I'll forever stay.
