Title:
“Silhouettes of Yesterday”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Em] Walking through the [D] shadows of the [C] past,
[G] Memories fading, but they [Em] always seem to [D] last.
[Em] Along empty streets and [D] faces unknown,
[C] We’re all seeking for a place [G] we can call home.
(Chorus)
[G] Silhouettes of yesterday, [D] haunting our minds,
[Em] Lost in the echoes, [C] leaving us blind.
[G] Searching for solace, in the [D] darkness we roam,
[Em] Chasing the shadows, [C] searching for home.
(Verse 2)
[Em] Darkness takes over, [D] as the city sleeps,
[C] Memories of the past, [G] in our hearts, they seep.
[Em] Amidst the noise and the [D] chaos, we find,
[C] Pieces of ourselves, [G] we had left behind.
(Chorus)
[G] Silhouettes of yesterday, [D] haunting our minds,
[Em] Lost in the echoes, [C] leaving us blind.
[G] Searching for solace, in the [D] darkness we roam,
[Em] Chasing the shadows, [C] searching for home.
