John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Echoes of Our Lost Love

Echoes of our lost love


Train crossings have a lot more meaning...
to me now!
Two years...and I still can't believe that 
you are gone...
Flashbacks of that tragic night in that
long forsaken town...
I still regret driving all night, till
the break of dawn

Bridge 1
Oooh I can still hear the ringing...
alarm bells, they dwell, in the corners of my mind

Chorus
I still go back to the places...
we used to go
I still see traces of faces...
we used to know
I still think back to the wedding...
that, we both dreamed of...
Now, all I hear are echoes...
the echoes of our lost love.

You begged and pleaded for me,
to stop the car and rest
You could see clearly I could not
stay awake
Now I understand this will be my
greatest test
I've learned my lesson, not to tempt
the hands of fate

Bridge 1
Oooh I can still hear the ringing...
alarm bells, they dwell, in the corners of my mind

Chorus
I still go back to the places...
we used to go
I still see traces of faces...
we used to know
I still think back to the wedding...
that, we both dreamed of...
Now, all I hear are echoes...
the... echoes of our lost love.

Bridge 2
Oooh if I could...I would
go back in time, and undo all that I did
If I'd had listened to all you said...
you'd still be here with me instead...so
tell me...how do I go on without you?

Chorus
I still go back to the places...
we used to go
I still see traces of faces...
we used to know
I still think back to the wedding...
that,  we both dreamed of...
Now, all I hear are echoes...
the... echoes of our lost love.

So, how can I stop the ringing...of the echoes of our lost love?
So, how can I stop the ringing...of the echoes of our lost love?

repeat and fade
