Empty Echoes

[Verse] Streetlights flicker shadows long No place feelin' home no home to belong Rain taps window like a mournful song Heartache whispers where have I gone [Verse 2] Sidewalks crumble under weary feet Dreams lost on that cold concrete Voices echo but none to greet In this city love's obsolete [Chorus] Empty echoes fill the air Loneliness without a prayer City's pulse a silent scare No answers to the questions rare [Verse 3] Neon glow on raindrop's fall Hollow laughter echoes through the hall Solitude's my only thrall In this night I hear love's distant call [Bridge] Street corner band plays melodies Sweet harmonies lost in memories Ghostly figures in reveries Life unfolds in shattered pleas [Verse 4] Moon hangs low in a sky of gray No more dreams left to betray Time fades colors into decay Empty echoes night and day
