Echo of My Heart

[Chorus]
Is it the hammer of the rain against my windowpane
The whistle of the wind among the trees
That makes fast fading shadows I can hear again
The echo of my footsteps after me?

[Verse 1]
Don't speak to me of islands part of Paradise
Or silver painted ships all made of gold
Or to dream of all these things I have to pay the price
Forget the many truths that I have sold

[Verse 2]
I remember all the dreams I used to have of life
Fast falling shades of time or cause to fade
And the tide is fast approaching like the waters
To remind me of mistakes that I have made

[Chorus]
Is it the hammer of the rain against my windowpane
The whistle of the wind among the trees
That makes fast fading shadows I can hear again
The echo of my footsteps after me?

[Verse 3]
The times are ringing out their tunes and tolling
For the friends that I once knew now slipping past
No longer in positions as witnesses
Far from this game of life they have been cast

[Chorus]
Is it the hammer of the rain against my windowpane
The whistle of the wind among the trees
That makes fast fading shadows I can hear again
The echo of my footsteps after me?
