Footprints fading softly in the tangerine Sun was dipping slowly,
you were like a dream
Promises like seashells,
fragile in the hand I turned to where you left me,
only sea and
sand
Every breeze still sings your name, like a
line I used to hum,
but it vanishes too soon in the ocean's drum
Echoes in the sand,
calling through the spray shadows of a love
Tides have swept away,
I still see your face in the curling foam
But I walk alone,
with ghosts I'd call home
We carved a heart in driftwood,
thought it wouldn't fade
But the sea returned it, with a quiet ache
I chase your fading laughter,
in the winds that pass Even seagulls leave me,
in the hollowed paths
All the stars we used to count,
seem a little shy
I reach for what we were,
and don't remember why
Echoes in the sand,
calling through the spray shadows of a love Tides have swept away,
I still see your face in the curling foam
But I walk alone,
with ghosts I'd call home
Maybe love's the shore we borrow,
till the morning tides arrive
And the dreams we meant tomorrow,
never quite survive
Echoes in the sand,
still they know your name Soft like ancient fire,
flickers without flame
I still hold my breath, when I face the strand
Where you once were real,
just echoes in the sand
Just echoes in the sand
