“Echoes in the Rain”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Em] Walking down a lonely road, [G] under the pouring rain,
[D] Shadows dance around me, [A] whispering your name.
[Em] Echoes of our past, [G] lingering in the air,
[D] Can’t escape the pain, [A] it’s more than I can bear.
(Chorus)
[C] Echoes in the rain, [G] remind me of your touch,
[D] Lost in the sorrow, [Em] I miss you so much.
[C] The sky is crying, [G] matching my despair,
[D] Echoes in the rain, [Em] it’s more than I can bear.
(Verse 2)
[Em] The city lights are fading, [G] drowned by the storm,
[D] Our memories come flooding, [A] leaving me torn.
[Em] Amidst the thunder, [G] I hear your sweet refrain,
[D] Your voice is the echo, [A] haunting me in the rain.
(Chorus)
[C] Echoes in the rain, [G] bringing back your smile,
[D] Lost in the silence, [Em] for more than a little while.
[C] The world is weeping, [G] sharing my pain,
[D] Echoes in the rain, [Em] driving me insane.
