Jar of Echoes - Piano Magic

In the last gasp of your heart

A song you couldn’t sing

The words were far too old

The tune was paper thin

But when you were a girl

This song was fresh and loud

You chased it round the school yard

You rode it like a cloud

The birds amongst the rafters

They knew the song by heart

They loved to hear your laughter

They sang the house apart

I heard of you from others

But others loved you less

I climbed inside your records

I climbed inside your dress

I’m seven steps behind you

I’m gathering your breath

I am the jar of echoes

I am the silent death

In the last gasp of your heart

A song you couldn’t sing

The words were far too old

The tune was paper thin

But when you were a girl

This song was fresh and loud

You chased it round the school yard

You rode it like a cloud
