I remember when his love died, With care, I buried each memory, How could I know echoes would escape, Bringing to my heart their treachery
With cloud drifts, his words come floating, On the wind, close to my ears they glide, When the evening spreads its purple cloak I run underneath, trying to hide
But I find no sanctuary, Everywhere I go, an echo strays, Echoes of pledges made by our hearts Are searching for those happier days
Echoes stir the sleeping fragments Of a heart shattered by a cruel blow, Tell me, in what way have I wronged Fate That it chooses to punish me so!
I'm a prisoner of his echoes, They keep me chained to his memory, His words crash and break like crystal waves, Pounding my heart's shore endlessly
I don't know how such things can be, All my days now in darkness are clad; Slowly, but surely, haunting echoes Of his love are driving me mad!
