Silent Sparks

[Verse]
In the shadow of the banyan tree
Where the whispers of the river run free
He sends her words
Small and shy
She reads them under a moonlit sky

[Prechorus]
Her heart beats loud
But her hands won't write
She erases his name in the dead of night

[Chorus]
Silent sparks in the dark
They glow
Words on a screen where love can't show
He says I’ll try till the stars fall down
She hides her love in a silken gown

[Verse 2]
He stands by the well with a flower in hand
She watches from the window
She can't understand
Why her heart breaks when she says no
But her family's rules won't let it grow

[Prechorus]
He writes again
His hope won't fade
She deletes the truth she's too afraid

[Chorus]
Silent sparks in the dark
They glow
Words on a screen where love can't show
He says I’ll try till the stars fall down
She hides her love in a silken gown
