Echoes of You
For me the sun has closed her eyes
Never to rise again
Darkness is all that surrounds me now
Darkness and echoes of pain
I'm on a journey to nowhere
The road is narrow and long
Walking alone, I stumble and fall
With echoes of you and our song
Though time keeps turning moving on
It never dries my tears
My soul still reaches out to you
The echoes of you it still hears
I try to look to the future, but
I may just as well be blind
The absence of you is all that I see
Echoes of you so defined
Confusion and pain, my constant friends
They never leave me alone
Reminders of all that you and I shared
Echoes I cannot disown
Today or tomorrow will never be mine
I live in a dark, sad place
The past, not the present, is all I can see
In the echoes of your lovely face
But somewhere beyond all the sorrow and pain
A light in the dark shines through
A memory softly remains.. my heart
Still beating in echoes of you
Emotional scars are invisible
But the damage is built to last
I wonder, will I ever be free
From echoes of you and the past...
Echoes of you in the silence tonight
Still calling my heart by name
Though distance and time have dimmed the light
Your love still burns like a flame
And maybe one day when the healing begins
In these shadows I'm walking through
I'll find a new dawn, but I'll always hear
The gentle echoes of you
