From the recording A Mother's Son
Lyrics
[Verse]
Second hands on the clock won't move
The echo of your laughter gone
The rhythm in the music has no groove
I walk alone in empty rooms
Like the dust in the bristles of brooms
No escape from the darkness
I search for you in everything I do
But all I find is I'm hopeless
[Chorus]
How could you leave
I come through you
In birth I had my first cry
A void as vast as oceans wide
Listening to the last echoes of goodbye
[Chant]
Echoes
Echoes
Echoes of Goodbye
[Verse 2]
Your hand in mine when skies were blue
A comfort that I never knew
Your love was like a guiding star
Now I must learn to be afar
The photos fade but memories cling
Your voice in dreams a haunting thing
I reach for you in midnight’s shroud
But wake to find no voice aloud
[Chorus]
How could you leave
I come through you
In birth I had my first cry
A void as vast as oceans wide
Listening to the last echoes of goodbye
