Shadows And Whispers

Marching onward in skies of deep blue Faces they blur Tears fall like rain Missing the laughter, enduring the pain Shadows they mourn In the echo of your song Shadows I see far from the fight Empty chairs round the hearth What's missing is you, your brave heart Shadows, they speak of battles gross Marching onward through valleys of grey Whispers they linger where you once lay Clutching memories within desperate grasp Shadows they cry, a future now past Quiet now, the guns have ceased But still no peace inside I find Through the silence, your laugh I chase In every corner, in every space Shadows, they hide Where you should be Empty streets echo your name Solitude's game, no one to claim Letters unread, promises unkept In this heart, your footprints are deep Shadows, they weep Candles flicker, but you're not home Echoes that plead For just one more dawn with you But daylight's truth is cruel It breaks through, it breaks through With colors you won't view Now here, in the silence Your voice is the ghost
