ECHOES IN THE DARK
I have heard the echoes in the dark Dim and distant voices of the past And I've seen so far into the night And lingered in the land of no light
Far beyond the Shrouded hours of dawn Through the mist Of daybreak I was borne But the day was Clouded still by night Leaving me in the land of no light
Though I'd love to Say hello to you You might have to wait awhile To say goodbye For it must end as it began And then start again
The day of darkness Comes to every man And lingers while he Reaches out his hand And he cannot know how it will end Till he finds out if he has a friend A friend ... -------------------------------- Mick Box - guitar Lee Kerslake - drums Gary Thain - bass guitar Ken Hensley - keyboards David Byron - lead vocals
