This is a tune that I put together based on snippets of ghost stories I remembered from the past.

Some time not too long ago, dashboard panel aglow, 
lonely road, he’s thinking about life and the everyday,
hands on the wheel...

In a time a few centuries ago, 
she worked selling flowers to feed her children, 
and provide a warm home.
Those were good memories she's keepin'...  

She was walking across the street, 
an out-of-control horse carriage 
came around the bend.
They did meet;
didn’t have time to run out of the way.  

She said she’d be home in a little while, 
but she never arrived to kiss her child. 
Her crumpled body lying beside the road, 
people surrounded her but there was no hope. 

Her flowers spoiled in the dirt. 
The day went on without her. 

ch.
The lady by the side of the road, 
never did she make it home.

Each mile turned into the next, 
until he couldn’t believe what he saw
at the edge of his headlights.
A lady in a flowing white dress off of the tarmac. 

Dandelions pushing up on the hem of her dress.
Why she was there was anyone’s guess.  
He stopped and got out of the car, 
and opened the back door, 
while asking her if she needed a lift. 

She didn’t say a word but got in.
He closed the door, 
and asked the obvious questions as they drove, 
and she never answered. 
The air became oddly cold. 

As they came into town he asked,
Where do you want to go?
She didn't reply, and pointed out her window.
So he started to pull to the side, but
in the rear view mirror, she was gone. 

He slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car. 
Seems she finally made it home.  
He felt a soft kiss on his cheek, 
and could see his exhale turn into cold breath.  

The lady by the side of the road.

The Lady By The Side Of The Road

This neoclassical and melancholic track, inspired by the poetry of Marina Tsvetaeva, evokes the delicate fragility of dreams and love. With its orchestral backdrop and cinematic depth, the composition mirrors the ethereal beauty of a snowflake melting in one's hand or a butterfly dissolving into the twilight. The themes of transient beauty and the heartache of unattainable dreams make this song a powerful emotional journey, steeped in classical elegance and dramatic intensity. Perfect for listeners who appreciate both the poetic and orchestral.

Lyrics Translation:
When a snowflake, which flies lightly, 
Like a fallen star gliding, 
You take with your hand — it melts into a tear, 
And you cannot restore its airiness.

When, captivated by the transparency of a jellyfish, 
We touch it with the whim of our hands, 
It, like a prisoner bound in chains, 
Suddenly pales and perishes.

When we wish to see in wandering butterflies 
Not a dream, but earthly reality — 
Where is their attire? From them on our fingers
 Remains only dawn-colored dust!

Leave the flight to snowflakes and butterflies, 
And do not harm the jellyfish on the sands! 
You cannot grasp your dream with your hands, 
You cannot hold your dream in your hands!

You cannot say to what was a fleeting sorrow, 
“Be passion! Burn with madness, blaze!” 
Your love was such a mistake — 
But without love, we perish. Magician!
