Lyrics
ECHOES OF TIME
[Verse]
We shared secrets in the summer haze
Laughing loud in our golden days
Now your eyes are clouds
Lost in the maze
Who stole the map
Who changed the plays
[Chorus]
You're here but it's not the same
you're Slipping away slipping away
A fading PICTURE in a frame of gray
I call your name
You smile the same
and the echoes of time remain
the echoes of time, the echoes of time
[Verse 2]
Your stories now drift like broken kites
Words unravel in the quiet nights
I chase the pieces
Hold them tight
But they vanish before the light
[Chorus]
You're here but it's not the same
you're Slipping away slipping away
A fading PICTURE in a frame of gray
I call your name
You smile the same
and the echoes of time remain
the echoes of time, the echoes of time
[Bridge]
Is it me you see
Or just a blur
Do you hear the songs we once preferred
I scream at the stars
They don't confer
The past is a stranger
Nothing's assured
[Chorus]
You're here but it's not the same
you're Slipping away slipping away
A fading PICTURE in a frame of gray
I call your name
You smile the same
and the echoes of time remain
the echoes of time, the echoes of time
echoes of time
echoes of time
echoes of time
