Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em [Em] I walked the roads where we used to roam, [D]
D [D] Your voice, a whisper in the wind, it [Em] blows.
Em [Em] The echoes of silence, they tell a [D] tale,
D [D] Of love lost, of dreams that turned so [Em] stale.
(Chorus)
C [C] Echoes of silence, in the [Em] night,
D [D] Keep reminding me of your [G] light,
G [G] I keep on walking, in the [Em] rain,
D [D] Trying to forget, those echoes of [Em] pain.
(Verse 2)
Em [Em] The empty streets, they hold our [D] ghosts,
D [D] Of laughter, of love, of times we [Em] boast.
Em [Em] Now all that’s left are echoes [D] so loud,
D [D] In the silence, I’m lost in the [Em] crowd.
(Chorus)
C [C] Echoes of silence, in the [Em] night,
D [D] Keep reminding me of your [G] light,
G [G] I keep on walking, in the [Em] rain,
D [D] Trying to forget, those echoes of [Em] pain.
