the only refuge seems to be
states of faded reality
pride diminished and a heart torn
you trudge on, alone, forlorn

let me be your shadow,
you said i could be your shadow

walk against the blinding light
one soul to spare
you die of fright
with love to share
to end the night
despair in your eyes
sole longing in your heart
two souls meant to fly
or were they doomed from the start

let me be your shadow,
i will be your shadow

miss you, my love,
though much has changed
what was once enough
turns into binding chains

let me be your shadow,
will you be my shadow??
