When the sound of laughter stops
And the frolicking shadows shimmer
I ask the walls to call my name
The faded hum of my daydream says
I must drink alone tonight

But my shadow is companion
And the walls echo my words
The blaring wind and leaking rain
We form a voice to sing a song
Our cries are heard by the heavens

Oh, if silence can sing with me
And my empty room can dance
I’ll accompany them with my strongest drink
Because forgotten memories do not belong
In a night that once was mine

Though the sound of laughter stopped
And the fading shadows shimmered
I heard the walls call my name
And the drifting rain falls in this night
They’ve come to see old friends again
