Shadows On The Water lyrics

The window shakes with midnight rain A tired Moon calls out my name And all the roads I used to know Have turned to rivers dark and cold I hear the silence in the hall Like distant echoes from a wall And every word we never said Still spins around inside my head Oh, time moves slow When there's nowhere left to go Shadows on the water Drifting out to sea Every broken memory Comes flooding back to me And I still hear your laughter Somewhere in the storm Like a ghost inside the piano Keeping my heart warm The candles burn like fading stars Their trembling light reveals the scars Of photographs and empty frames Where love once lived without a name The cello cries behind the night Like shattered wings learning to fly And every note becomes a prayer For all the dreams no longer there Oh, hold me close Before the last light goes Shadows on the water Drifting out to sea Every shattered piece of us Still washes over me And I still feel your heartbeat Inside the falling rain Like a choir in the distance Calling me again If I could turn the sky around I'd pull the stars back to the ground And build a world from what remains Beyond the sorrow and the pain But the river keeps on rolling Through the ruins of our days And the piano softly trembles As your shadow fades away Shadows on the water Floating through the dark Every lonely melody Still carries who we are And when the morning finds me Broken by the dawn I'll still be here beside the silence Singing to the gone The rain lets go The night breathes slow And somewhere far beyond the gray You drift away You drift away
