NO MORE ECHOES Door clicks shut for the very last time Key turns soft and I leave it behind No looking back at the flickering hall This time I don’t answer when you call Round and round we used to go Heated words then gentle flow Make it up then fall apart Patch the pieces with a fragile heart One step forward two steps back Keep the rhythm keep the track But the groove ran out and the beat went thin Nothing left where the fire had been No more echoes no more ghost No more counting what we lost most No more turning round to see If you’re standing there in front of me Uptown stride and a steady pace No more shadows in this place Cut the tie and I walked right through This chapter’s closed I’m brand new You’d show up when the mood felt right Charm like daylight then cold as night I’d lean in close you’d pull away Promise heaven then walk away Kept on hoping you’d finally stay Kept on waiting day after day But I can’t build a home on shifting ground Can’t keep dancing to a broken sound No more echoes no more ghost No more counting what we lost most No more turning round to see If you’re standing there in front of me Uptown stride and a steady pace No more shadows in this place Cut the tie and I walked right through This chapter’s closed I’m brand new Guitar bites hard and the drums kick strong I’m moving to a different song Clean slate and an open view Nothing dragging nothing overdue What felt like forever’s finally done Sun comes up and the day’s just begun No more echoes no more ghost No more counting what we lost most No more turning round to see If you’re standing there in front of me Uptown stride and a steady pace No more shadows in this place Cut the tie and I walked right through This chapter’s closed I’m brand new
