Anchored to the Past

(long instrumental catchy intro) [Verse 1] Broken promises at dawn Echoes linger far too long Words that cut like a knife She walked out of my life [Verse 2] Shadows dance across the floor Where her footsteps are no more Cold winds whisper in my ear Loneliness is crystal clear [cello solo interlude] [Verse 3] Memories fade like old ink Heart is shattered, can’t think Eyes that once held the stars Now only trace her scars [Verse 4] The night seems longer still Time has lost its will Silence sings a bitter tune Underneath a fading moon [Chorus] Empty rooms and empty hearts Where love once lived, now departs She’s gone, and so the song Carries on, where I belong [cello solo interlude] [Verse 5] Dreams we built turned to sand Slipped away from my hand All that's left is her ghost In the spaces I loved most [Verse 6] Days blur into the next No reply, no more texts The world keeps spinning round But I am anchored to the ground [Chorus] Empty rooms and empty hearts Where love once lived, now departs She’s gone, and so the song Carries on, where I belong [cello solo interlude] [Outro] Lost in time, lost in place Still I search for her trace But the echoes fade away In the light of breaking day (catchy outro) (end)
