Vanished Shadows

[Verse]
A clock ticks slow the room stands still
His coat hangs empty by the windowsill
Shadows whisper where his voice once played
Echoes of footsteps that never stayed

[Prechorus]
The moonlight weeps across the floor
Where is he now what was it for

[Chorus]
Vanished shadows swallowed by night
He left no trace no flame no light
Was it the wind or was it the sea
What stole him away what stole him from me

[Verse 2]
The forest hums in a mournful tone
Each leaf a secret each branch a throne
The sky won’t answer the earth won’t speak
I scream his name but the sound feels weak

[Prechorus]
A storm brews deep inside my chest
Where does he sleep does he find rest

[Chorus]
Vanished shadows swallowed by night
He left no trace no flame no light
Was it the wind or was it the sea
What stole him away what stole him from me
