Shadows in the Rain

Footsteps echo down the empty streets Neon flickers in the puddles at my feet Your name lingers like a ghost in the air But I turn around and there's no one there Faded whispers in the cold night breeze Soft reminders of the love we leave I reach for you but you're slipping away Like a dream, I can't escape Shadows in the rain, dancing all alone Falling through the cracks of a love we used to know Every drop that falls, sings your name so low But you're just a shadow in the rain Nowhere to go Streetlights flicker like they know my pain Playing memories like a lost refrain Your touch still lingers like a silver flame But all I hold is the echo of your name Faded whispers in the cold night breeze Soft reminders of the love we leave I reach for you but you're slipping away Like a dream, I can't escape Shadows in the rain, dancing all alone Falling through the cracks of a love we used to know Every drop that falls, sings your name so low But you're just a shadow in the rain Nowhere to go Tell me, do you feel it too Lost in the storm, just me and you But your arms are air, your lips are gone Like a song that fades before it's sung Shadows in the rain, whispering your name But you're just a ghost, slipping through my veins I'll chase you through the storm, but I'll never find A love that's only echoes in my mind
