lyrics

Shadow Of My Songs

Though the years have come between us and my days are marked by time
I can’t forget what went between us and the hours you were mine
Girl know I always loved you though I often did you wrong
You’re the reason for my living; you’re the shadow of my songs.

Now, I know you found another; a man who could stay true
But I regret the hurt I did you; if only that you knew
It broke my heart in leaving; if only I’d been strong
But girl I’ll keep believing – you’re shadow of my songs.

Chorus
Through the years and through the pain
It’s your memory keeps me sane
In the dark and endless night
You’re my torch and you’re my light.

Through the days of constant nothing to the nights of constant rain
Amongst the ghosts of passing strangers I will see your face again
In cities of lost dreamers; amongst the teeming, endless throng
You haunt my edge of reason; you’re the shadow of my songs.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

I think of you in autumn when the leaves must fall and die
I think of you in summer under bright and cloudless skies
I think of you in winter when the lonely nights are long
You’re the hope I find in spring time: you’re the shadow of my songs.

My life somehow got broken; now I always walk alone
A child of constant sorrow; a long, long way from home
And if God will not forgive me: for all the things I’ve done
Woman know that I loved you: you're the shadow of my songs
you're the shadow of my songs; you're the shadow of my songs.
