Echoes & Shadows
When I left you by the door you said you'd be back tomorrow but I knew
You'd be absent for some time
Your daughter left the room she was thinking about chasing her own life
No telling what she might find
When I die, lay me down below
The tree by the water where we used to go
Feel the river running through my veins
The blood I've spilled isn't washed away
The echoes and the shadows still remain
I listen to the sound of my heart beating in my chest and I confess
I haven't felt like this before
I put you down and turned my back that January day but left behind
the scars and artifacts of war
When I die, lay me down below
The tree by the water where we used to go
Feel the river running through my veins
The blood I've spilled isn't washed away
The echoes and the shadows still remain
Shoulder to the wall the scent of ashes in a blown out basement hall
Has me hiding from the fold
The coffee cold I trace the lines just like I did a thousand times or more
Reaching for a hand to hold
When I die, lay me down below
The tree by the water where we used to go
Feel the river running through my veins
The blood I've spilled isn't washed away
The echoes and the shadows still remain
You'd be absent for some time
Your daughter left the room she was thinking about chasing her own life
No telling what she might find
When I die, lay me down below
The tree by the water where we used to go
Feel the river running through my veins
The blood I've spilled isn't washed away
The echoes and the shadows still remain
I listen to the sound of my heart beating in my chest and I confess
I haven't felt like this before
I put you down and turned my back that January day but left behind
the scars and artifacts of war
When I die, lay me down below
The tree by the water where we used to go
Feel the river running through my veins
The blood I've spilled isn't washed away
The echoes and the shadows still remain
Shoulder to the wall the scent of ashes in a blown out basement hall
Has me hiding from the fold
The coffee cold I trace the lines just like I did a thousand times or more
Reaching for a hand to hold
When I die, lay me down below
The tree by the water where we used to go
Feel the river running through my veins
The blood I've spilled isn't washed away
The echoes and the shadows still remain
