Lyrics

Echoes through the years

(lyrics ©2003 Allison Lancaster)

Verse 1
The politician?s speech
Rang round her head like empty bells
Not strong enough to reach
The truth her story cannot tell

Verse 2
The propaganda war
Brought atmospheric highs and lows
Until I closed the door
And then she didn?t want to know

Bridge
Make her safe and shield her eyes
It?s not her place to sacrifice
For when a love is lost
How can you start to count the cost?


Chorus
Echoes through the years
You are here to save the day
As though I didn?t go away
Facing all my fears
Chances are it won?t be you
I was thinking that way too


Verse 3
The photographic glare
The memory of our last goodbye
The people came to stare
And so she thought she couldn?t cry

Bridge

Chorus
