Song Title:
“Rusty Echoes”

Full Song Lyrics:

C#m A E
[Verse 1]
C#m
Underneath the hollow sky
A
I hear your voice, a rusty echo
E
Piercing through the silent night
C#m
It’s your love, it’s a crescendo

[Chorus]
A E
Rusty echoes, carry me home
C#m
I’ve been lost, in my own dome
A E
Beneath the stars, where we used to roam
C#m
Rusty echoes, carry me home

[Verse 2]
C#m
Beneath the city’s burning lights
A
I found solace in your shadow
E
Vanishing in the twilight
C#m
Now all I have are these rusty echoes

[Chorus]
A E
Rusty echoes, carry me home
C#m
I’m a ship, lost in the foam
A E
Whispering winds, through the catacomb
C#m
Rusty echoes, carry me home…
