Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
(Dm) Down the (Am) empty streets, (G) washed by the rain
(Dm) I see your (Am) ghost, (G) whispering my name
(Dm) The echoes (Am) of your laughter, (G) a bittersweet refrain
(Dm) Every corner (Am) of this town, (G) knows our love and pain
[Chorus]
(C) Echoes in the (G) rain, (Dm) you’re with me once again
(C) In every drop, (G) I find your touch, (Dm) your sweet refrain
(C) And though you’re gone, (G) in my heart you’ll remain
(Dm) As long as there are (Am) echoes in the (G) rain
[Verse 2]
(Dm) I walk alone, (Am) beneath the stormy skies (G)
(Dm) With every step, (Am) I’m tracing our goodbyes (G)
(Dm) Your shadow (Am) lingers, (G) in the echoes of the rain
(Dm) And every (Am) night, I (G) fall for you again
[Chorus]
(C) Echoes in the (G) rain, (Dm) your love drives me insane
(C) In every tear, (G) I feel your loss, (Dm) your sweet refrain
(C) And though you’re gone, (G) in my heart you’ll remain
(Dm) As long as there are (Am) echoes in the (G) rain
