Echoes (Carry On) - Grayscale

Cut it off and watched your ripe pome

Roll away alone

The fallen fruit you’d rather pass along

Followed orchard hills in bounds

Of trail markers and signal stones

Somewhere I am lost on the ground

I’m a thick blur of ruby red

Your solstice that never ends

I’ll be strong, carry on

But I still hear your echoes down the hall

My candle’s burning out

Throw your tableau on the wall

Project your love

Somehow you fell right through my arms

I’ll carry on

Tried to grow through winter’s spell

I’m frozen through the stalk

Pearlescent shape you were hiding in

Entranced by the way you walk

‘Til we meet again, I’ll be nervously shaking

And patiently waiting for thoughtful amends

Come clean for the lies that you led

That’s how the story goes

Feel again when I see your ghost

Oh what a life you lived, one of vanity and sin

I’ll be strong, carry on

But I still hear your echoes down the hall

My candle’s burning out

Throw your tableau on the wall

Project your love

Somehow you fell right through my arms

I’ll carry on

I’ll carry, I’ll carry on

I’ll carry, I’ll carry on

I’ll be strong, carry on

But I still hear your echoes down the hall

My candle’s burning out

Throw your tableau on the wall

Project your love

Somehow you fell right through my arms

I’ll carry on
