shadows of her mind

i met her sadly in the slowly falling rain

crying softly in her loveliness 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 echo 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.
