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
