“Shadows on the Wall”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am – C – G – D
In the quiet of the night, I’m losing all control,
Am – C – G – D
Walking down the street, chasing shadows on the wall.
Am – C – G – D
The echoes of your laughter, they haunt me like a ghost,
Am – C – G – D
In the silent whispers, it’s your voice I miss the most.
(Chorus)
Em – G – D – C
Shadows on the wall, they’re dancing in the night,
Em – G – D – C
A melancholy ballet, beneath the pale moonlight.
Em – G – D – C
In every fleeting silhouette, I see your face again,
Em – G – D – C
Shadows on the wall, remind me of what might have been.
(Verse 2)
Am – C – G – D
In the echoes of the night, I hear your sweet refrain,
Am – C – G – D
Walking through the memories, lost in love’s domain.
Am – C – G – D
The echoes are my solace, they bring me close to you,
Am – C – G – D
In the silence of the darkness, it’s your touch I yearn to pursue.
(Chorus)
Em – G – D – C
Shadows on the wall, they keep me company,
Em – G – D – C
An ethereal waltz, in the canvas of reality.
Em – G – D – C
The moonlight is a spotlight, on the stage of our despair,
Em – G – D – C
Shadows on the wall, proof that you were there.
