Echoes of Yesterday

(Verse 1) The rain is falling on the glass, A whisper of forgotten years, The photographs are faded fast, And every face dissolves in tears. I trace the lines upon my hand, The roads I walked when I was young, The castle built upon the sand, The songs that once were on my tongue. (Pre-Chorus) And I remember how we laughed, Beneath the sun without a care, Now silence holds the aftermath, And nothing's left for me to spare. (Chorus) Oh, echoes of yesterday, Come dancing in the rain, I call your names, but you're so far away, In the shadow of my pain. The light has turned to gray, The years have slipped like sand, I'm reaching out for one more day, But I can't hold what's in my hand. (Verse 2) The river flows, but not to me, It's carried all my dreams away, I stand alone beside the sea, And watch the dying of the day. The golden hours turned to stone, The laughter faded into sighs, I built a throne, but now I own, The silence and the empty skies. (Pre-Chorus) And I remember how we burned, With fire in our hearts and souls, Now every page has been returned, And nothing makes me whole. (Chorus) Oh, echoes of yesterday, Come dancing in the rain, I call your names, but you're so far away, In the shadow of my pain. The light has turned to gray, The years have slipped like sand, I'm reaching out for one more day, But I can't hold what's in my hand. (Bridge - Operatic, soaring) Where are you now, my yesterday? My heart is breaking more each day, I'd trade my soul for one more hour, To feel the sun, to feel the power, Of all we were, of all we knew, But all I have is only you... The ghost of what we used to be, Forever lost, eternally. (Outro - Slowing down, fading) The echoes fade... I'm left alone... In the rain... Of yesterday...
