|
I met her sadly in the slowly falling rain |
|
Crying softly in her loneliness and pain |
|
Knowing no one needin' someone bad as me |
|
And she told me as I held her trembling hand |
|
Walking slowly how she'd never known a man |
|
Living lonely in her cottage by the sea. |
|
When the morning came her tears had changed to laughter |
|
And before the night her heart beat close to mine |
|
And I thought as she lay sleeping bout the secrets she was keeping |
|
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind. |
|
In the morning as I wakened with the dawn |
|
Without warning I could feel that she was gone |
|
Leaving nothing but her silence next to me |
|
And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand |
|
Walking slowly for I knew where they would end |
|
Disappearing in the silence of the sea. |
|
And I sometimes hear the echoe of her laughter |
|
As I search for what I know I'll never find |
|
For the answer I was seeking was the secrets she's still keeping |
|
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind. |
|
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind... |
