Echoes of the Lonely Heart 2
Sad Ballad
Lyrics
Description
The clock ticks loud across this empty room, Your jacket on the chair, untouched, assumed.
Coffee cools where warmth used to reside, Shadows settle in the corners where I hide.
I hear sighs, trapped beneath the floorboards, Whisper thin regrets that don't make noise.
Fingers trace a name on foggy glass, Staring out, watching us both pass.
And all I hold are fragments in the dark, A fractured map without the spark.
Your silence stretches, wide and stark, Leaving me adrift, alone—no mark.
Outro
The records spin but songs have lost their tune
The faded light can't chase away the gloom
I speak your name into a vacant street
Echoes answer back but never me
Rooms remember laughter cold as stone
Walls wear thin where love had grown
I gather dust in memories with trembling hands
Trying to understand, one never stands
And all I hold are fragments in the dark
A fracture map without the spark
Your silence stretches wide and stark
Leaving me adrift alone, no more
Instrumental
Midnight scrawls and horners of my mind
Ink of what we were now hard to find
The page is torn but still I read
Searching for the words I need
And all I hold are fragments in the dark
A fracture map without the spark
Your silence stretches wide and stark
Leaving me adrift alone, no more
The jacket still sits, untouched, resigned
While I trace the shape you left behind
