Spirits walk in empty rooms I hear them whispering as if they'd never gone And everywhere I turn They seem to strike a chord That makes me think of you And I can almost taste your skin again And feel your hand in mine So very nearly here Though you can never be The great divide, the endless tide My love, are you a figment of a memory That cannot be denied Now and then I looked for you I think I recognize you in a stranger's glance For when you looked at me There was no mystery The spirits moved in us And as I wander through this timeless place The seasons change so fast And echoes call your name The shadow of the past The gilded walls, the empty halls remain But you are never to be found in them And looking is in vain, in vain, in vain Yet your spirit will remain, remain Your spirit will remain
