Shadows of Yesterday

[Verse 1]
The clock keeps ticking, soft and slow,
A whisper of time I used to know.
The moonlight spills like shattered wine,
Dripping down the cracks of my mind.

[Prechorus]
Each note of the violin sighs,
Tracing the tears that memory dries.

[Chorus]
Oh, shadows of yesterday,
Why do you linger, why do you stay?
You hold my heart in your fragile hands,
A ghostly waltz on shifting sands.

[Verse 2]
The piano hums a mournful tune,
Chasing the face that left too soon.
A candle flickers, the flame bends low,
Dancing with secrets I'll never know.

[Bridge]
If I could rewind, would you be near?
Would your laughter erase my fear?
Or would I still lose you,
Through the haze of a tear?

[Chorus]
Oh, shadows of yesterday,
Why do you linger, why do you stay?
You hold my heart in your fragile hands,
A ghostly waltz on shifting sands.
