Echo

Did I hear an echo
I swear I must've heard those words before
Ringing out through the hollow
Slipping through the space beneath the door
One of these days oh love
Light will shine again out through the withering leaves
Well son remember
We shoulda known there'd be days like these

Hold your aching tongue
Some things you'd better left unsaid
Because once you say them
Here in the mountains you'll hear them again
Mama can you tell me
If I wake up, what will be left of this dream
Just the sweat on your pillow boy
Nothing but the dark lines in between

The gentle howl of mother moon
The seas the storm once brought to a boil
Simmer down girl not too soon
And all that shines is blood and foil

Do I see my reflection
Do I really find myself here again
Lost for direction
Sinking deeper and deeper within
One of these days oh love
All the broken pieces will be carried off into the wind
And what will remain here
Only what we bury under our skin

Did I hear an echo
I swear I must have heard those words before
Ringing out through the hollow
Slipping through the space beneath the door
One of these days oh love
Light will shine again out through the withering leaves
Well son remember
We shoulda known there'd be days like these
