Lyrics
Thin whispers in the glow drift away So soft, so slow Shadows pull me under, deep eyes I've closed No promises, crash inside Lost in echoes Lost in echoes Lost in echoes Where the silence hides Hold me in this endless haze Falling through the velvet days Voices blur, they twist and sway Nothing left but yesterday Fingers trace the empty air Mem'ra care Without a care From fragile dreads From fragile dreams Drowning in the quiet streams Hold me in this endless haze Falling through Voices blur, they twist and sway But yesterday Falling through But today Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through Falling through
