The Shadows Lyrics

Someone was sleeping while she did her leaving Cowards go in the night She did her leaving, and how could I blame her? Who has the nerve to fight? She knows, of course she knows That nothing could tear us apart She lives in the shadows Of my heart I tried to persuade her, in vain, of course, later That's something that I deny I thought it was better to say in my letter That I never even tried She knows, of course, she knows And one day she'll tear me apart The shadows that she leaves On my heart She's leaving, she's leaving My altar, she's leaving Where will I go to pray? I want her, I need her I long to believe her Words that she will not say And I knew, of course, I knew That one day she'd tear me apart The shadows that she left On my heart She's leaving, she's leaving My altar, she's leaving Where will I go to hide? She lives on the shadows Of my mind
