[Verse] A clock ticks loud in the empty hall Shadows stretch and then they fall Fingers trace the dust on the shelf It feels like I’m chasing myself [Prechorus] Whispers fade where the echoes play Do you remember yesterday [Chorus] Fleeting shadows They slip through my hands Like water on sand I can’t make them stand The days gone by They don’t even try Fleeting shadows They wave goodbye [Verse 2] A photo curls in the summer heat Familiar faces I’ll never meet The scent of rain on an autumn night Flickers of gold in a fading light [Prechorus] Time’s a thief with a wicked grin Taking more than it lets back in [Chorus] Fleeting shadows They slip through my hands Like water on sand I can’t make them stand The days gone by They don’t even try Fleeting shadows They wave goodbye
