Echoes of Laughter

Lyrics

I trusted her smile, but she turned and she fled (left unsaid) Now I'm drifting, through these empty streets With every heartbeat, I can feel the bleed She's a whisper (fading fast) An echo of the laughter, we once had In this city's fog, the silence grows (numb and closed) I gave her all (all my truth) She took my heart, left me to roam In Melbourne's streets, now I'm alone (cold and stoned) The echoes vibrate, deep in my bones This cityscape, a haunting zone A heavy heart 'neath skies of chrome I walk these lanes (lost my way) With tears that rain, down graffiti walls Shadows loom, in alleys fall In Melbourne's grip, I'm just a pawn (wandering on) Her ghost beside me, but love's withdrawn A specter's hand, where mine was drawn A broken beat (heart in shards) We used to throb in sync, now we're apart The trams they hum, a droning song (notes are drawn) Rhythm of grief, where I don't belong Skyline's haze, in my dismay I linger where we kissed in the dawn I shared my soul (veiled in mist) She vanished like smoke, a ghost in the park In Melbourne's embrace, I fade to dark (memories stark) The streetlights flicker, can't light the spark A silhouette cast, by a dying lark I hear her voice, but it's just a mark
