Echoes

You're on your own now, just a step away

The memories blur then begin to fade

These days reveal to me what can't be undone

For we all knew this day your time was done

The sound of your voice calling these echoes in my head

I'm choking back the tears now but there's nothing that I could have said

Staring at the blank walls with a smile

Just another symptom of your failing mind

Are you in some far away place that only you can see?

Trapped in some inner recess of your own reality

For, these are the days of our lives

These are the days, passing by

This cold angry water flowing out to the sea

The ever expanding ocean takes you far from me

You see the light shining from the other side

There's no more time for you, so cross the divide

Can you see your moments passing day by day?

Will you leave me with this cold empty feeling? Will it always remain?

This cold angry water flowing out to the sea

This overwhelming emotion takes a piece of me

All hope is lost now you're fading away

All hope is lost now your final day is here

These wasted years

The echoes I hear
