Title:
“Pockets of Silence”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
Em C
Walking down the corridors of time,
G D
I find pieces of you, in the corners of my mind.
Em C
Echoes of laughter, whispers of pain,
G D
In the pockets of silence, all that remain.
(Chorus)
Am Em
Oh, in the pockets of silence,
C G
I hear your voice again.
D Em
You’re dancing in the raindrops,
C G
and whispering in the wind.
(Verse)
Em C
Underneath the starlight, in the dark,
G D
I trace the shadow of our love, in every watermark.
Em C
Old songs playing, tales of then,
G D
In the pockets of silence, we live again.
(Chorus)
Am Em
Oh, in the pockets of silence,
C G
I hear our song again.
D Em
You’re whispering in the moonlight,
C G
And dancing in the rain.
