Echoes of Longing

Shadows cross the room (soft gloom) While my heart's in fold with memories When my love's asleep with you And the whispering night, it knows it, too When a promise we made finds trouble Does it spell that our dream's in rubble Moonbeam's kiss the sill (gentle thrill) With a soft caress, like your fingertips Tangled sheets confess the truth In the silence of our youth Every crack in our hearts is showing But in each other's eyes, love's still glowing There's a melody in longing (in longing) Hums beneath our skin, we're yearning Through the echoes of our laughter Sorrow veils the joy we're after In the rhythm of our breathing (our breathing) Lies a truth we're both believing
