​

Echoes

 

When all that’s left to me

Is painful honesty

I cry out to the silence

But it just sends the echoes

Back to me.

 

I watch the crescent moon

Shine out across the sea

I ask her “Where does love go?”

But she just sends the echoes

Back to me.

 

The spiral keeps on turning

The wheel of life keeps spinning

The ocean waves keep rolling

And winter turns to springtime.

Nothing dies.

So where does love go?

 

When trust has slipped away

What is there left to say

Except goodbye.
