Topic: just another name in the back of a family bible

thinking of maybe adding another verse or two depends on if i come with anything i like
Am 
I'll be the echo that you hear
C
off a canyon wall
G
out the corner of your eye
Am
the shadow that you saw.

I'll be the tombstone that you pass
while they are filling the next grave
a footprint in the sand
wash off by a wave.

chorus
G                                        F                                        C
I'll be just another name in the back of a family bible.
G                             F                         C
faded memories are my soul's survival.
G                               F                                       C
just another name in the back of a family bible

I'll be the broken branch that falls
from the family tree
a cold gray mist at dawn
drifting out to sea
I'm the words to a favorite song
that you can't recall
wind-blown leaves on the ground
scattered in the fall.

chorus

I'm the fresh cool breeze upon your face
on a warm summer night
the ghostly glow from a firefly
in the pale moon light
I'm the faceless soul you thought you saw
in a sleepless dream
I'll be that single leaf drifting by
on a lazy stream

chorus 

out of tune out of key and out of touch

Nice work Mojo! Love "Just another name in the back of a family bible", and "...echo that you hear off a canyon wall".  Awesome triggers for sense memory the audience will have.
