Lyrics
ECHOES OF THE PAST
Suzi sits and sheds her tears
Casting out her midnight fears
Wondering just what the night will bring
Was it truth and was it real
Was it love that she could feel
Or maybe was it just another dream
She?s always dreaming her life away
Only living for another day
And she?s always longing for a shoulder
To cry on, to rely on
All alone in her room she weeps
Memories are all she keeps
Reminding her of all her foolish ways
Photographs that never lie
Cuttings that she cannot hide
Telling of her past eventful days
As the dawn takes away the light
The sun shines on her face so bright
It?s almost time to live another day
Forget the past and start again
That?s what she?s told by all her friends
But once more she will dream the night away
For some life goes too fast
But not for those trapped
In the echoes of the past
