“The Walls Whisper”
Jean-Paul VERNERET
21/08/2025

Shadows slide across the old parquet
Your laughter clings to the icy air
My fingers follow the traces of the past
Searching for your shadow that won’t stay
The wind blows through the open window
Carrying away our hidden promises
And I remain a prisoner of time
In our unfinished memories

Chorus
And I shout your name into the wind
You glide, straight towards me, ahead
Every breath brings me back to you
And I lose myself when you’re not here
The stars go out one by one
Like our promises under the moon
Time fades and leaves me alone
And my whole world collapses alone

Bridge
And if I could
Turn back time
To sweep away the dust
And if I could
Turn back time
Redo everything my way

The walls whisper forgotten words
Fragments of us that the night burned
Each step echoes like a shadow
Of our silences lost in chaos
I cling to your absent face
In my nights of trembling light
I reach my hands to infinity
To touch everything that slips away from me

Chorus
And I shout your name into the wind
You glide, straight towards me, ahead
Every breath brings me back to you
And I lose myself when you’re not here
The stars go out one by one
Like our promises under the moon
Time fades and leaves me alone
And my whole world collapses alone

Bridge
And if I could
Turn back time
To sweep away the dust
And if I could
Turn back time
Redo everything my way
