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
