Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
(Em) Echoes in the (G) silence,
(D) Whispers in the (Am) wind,
(Em) Tell me stories (G) of a time,
(D) That we’ve never (Am) been.
[Chorus]
(C) In the echoes in the (G) silence,
(D) Can you hear the (Am) sound?
(C) Of a love that’s left (G) behind,
(D) Lost but never (Am) found.
[Verse 2]
(Em) Stars in the (G) night sky,
(D) Dancing in your (Am) eyes,
(Em) Reflecting dreams (G) we dared to dream,
(D) In the moon’s (Am) disguise.
[Chorus]
(C) In the echoes in the (G) silence,
(D) Can you feel the (Am) beat?
(C) Of a heart that’s left (G) behind,
(D) Skipping to its (Am) own retreat.
