lyrics

echoes sound in an empty room
faded letters still hold their perfume
an old photograph overlooked for so long
a ghost lies waiting in a forgotten song
a face in a crowd
quickly slips out of sight
but you still hear footsteps
in the dead of the night
memories linger of a moment too brief
guard your heart closely
for love is a thief

passion’s a liar a coward a cheat
first into battle and the first to retreat
it brings only questions
then it leaves you to guess
ask for nothing and it gives even less
shadows remain
though the sun has long set
you’ve made your peace
but you’re never going to forget
time passes slowly and brings no relief
so guard your heart closely
for love is a thief
