Forest of Echoes

I call your name but the wind replies

Cold echo bounces through the skies

I see your face in every cloud

I'm lost in thoughts I can't say out loud

You walk in dreams where shadows play

But daylight comes you drift away

Like moonlight dancing on the sea

You're always close yet far from me

I built my hopes on whispered lies

I'm just a star lost in your eyes

You light the world and walk on by

I chase your tail across the sky

Your laugh a tune that haunts my mind

No heart will ever be so kind

You weave your magic in the air

A spell that holds but you're not there

I paint your name in skies of blue

With all the dreams I thought you knew

But all the colors fade to grey

When shadows come to steal the day

I built my hopes on whispered lies

I'm just a star lost in your eyes

You light the world and walk on by

I chase your tail across the sky
