Shadows moving down 
these empty, vacant halls
playing with our memories
and dancing on the walls
their voices echo moments
that we painted with our love
as my sadness still recalls
that your in the sky above
as melancholy is drifting
in intoxicating wafts
a time when you were here
when we all felt so safe

this time a slow reminder
to live within today
to be careful who you know
and be gentle what you say
as I reach out for you
 the shadows slip away
and knowing in that second
I can't buy back yesterday

I can only remember
 how wonderful it all was
and be ever grateful
 for the ...time
 that we all shared down here.
