From the recording Echoes of a Tender Heart
“Drifting Like a Cloud” is a melancholic reflection on love lost to time. With delicate metaphors of smoke, rain, and autumn light, ÉLYEN gently leads us through quiet streets of memory — where passion once thrived, and now only echoes remain. A soft, wistful ballad that floats like mist, reminding us how easily love drifts away.
Lyrics
Thinking of days gone by, we were near,
Walking through the rain, soft music in our ear.
That harbor of passion, we were lost in delight,
Autumn leaves fell as you slipped out of sight.
Where are those bright eyes that once held the sky?
Stars remain above, but where did our dreams fly?
Empty streets, rain falls from above,
Wishing for the past, now faded from love.
Love is like a wisp of smoke,
Drifting through the air, lost in a cloak.
Love is like a storm that swept,
Through silent streets where memories crept.
I remember your grace, in the fading light,
As the music played, in the chill of night.
Where are those bright eyes from years ago?
On this lonely platform where shadows grow.
Fallen leaves lie still in the autumn’s breeze,
Swept along with the memory, lost with such ease.
Love is like a wisp of smoke,
Drifting through the air, lost in a cloak.
Love is like a storm that swept,
Through silent streets where memories crept.
I remember your grace, in the fading light,
As the music played, in the chill of night.
Love is like a wisp of smoke,
Drifting through the air, lost in a cloak.
Love is like a storm that swept,
Love is like a wisp of smoke,
Love drifts away
like clouds in the sky…
