Tom : G
G Am D C G Am D C G
[Verse 1]
G Am D
Echo fell in love with the handsome Narcissus
C
Narcissus saw nymphs who adored him
G
And wasn't ever raised to their affection
[Bridge]
G
"Is anyone here?"
Am
"Here here!" "Come!" "Come!"
D C
"I will die before I give you power over me!"
G
"I give you power over me!"
[Chorus]
F
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
G
(all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
F
Still repeating only what others have said
G
(still repeating only what others have said)
[Verse 2]
G Am D
Narcissus leaned over a clear pool
C
For a drink and fell hopelessly
G
In love with his own reflected image
[Verse 3]
G Am D
Cursed through thought of futile desire to have his own affection
C
In turn Narcissus slowly wasted away
G
And didn't continue to love me
[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
G Am D
And death, eventually, overtook him as he stared
C
He's found a finger for you; "Why would you be so mean?"
G
And she repeated these same words to him
[Verse 5]
G Am D
And Echos fleshes all were scattered about
C
And her bones turned to stone
G
Today, all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
[Outro]
F
"Is anyone here?" "Here, here!" "Come!" "Come!"
G F
"I will die, before I give you power over me!"
G
"I give you power over me."
