Velvet Voice Blues — The Echo

Yeah
I keep hearing your footsteps
In the quiet of this room
But it's only just the echo
Of love that left too soon
There's a dent in your pillow
Coffee cup by the sink
I still leave you that side of the bed
Then lie here and overink
It's only just the echo
Of a love that left too soon
Talking in the hallway, moving
Through this empty gloom
I reach out in the darkness
But my hands just cut through air
It's only just the echo
Of a love that isn't there
Your code on the doorway, keys
Still hang on the nail
Every and music] little
Ordinary thing reads like a farewell
I pour two cups in the morning
Then tip one down the drain
Your name sits on and singing
The tip of my tongue like a long slow of your name
It's only just the echo
Of a love that left too soon
Laughing in the kitchen
Fading like a broken tune
I reach out in the darkness
But my hands just cut through air
It's only just the echo
Of a love that isn't there
If
I move on, will you vanish?
Oh, if
I stand still, will it hurt more?
I'm stuck between your memory
And that closing silent door.
It's only just the echo
Of a love that left up too soon
Calling from the stairwell, hinging
Every corner, every room
I reach out in the darkness
Knowing you won't leave me there
It's only just the echo
Of a love
That isn't there
