Shadows of a thousand faces keep on turning in your mind
And forgotten names and places never really left behind
Is it here imagination seeking shelter from the rain
Or a long self conversation once again
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger any way you may run to
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment if you dare
Gentle past at once surrender at what you didn't understand
Conquest of the night that ended holding you with trembling hands
In a book a fall leaf-clover marks the days at below
Till she found that it was over long ago
Little thanks had most of meaning leaving only emptiness
Tender words and simple feelings never eased your hungriness
Yesterdays remain so sudden and tomorrows round the bend
Can you read the line that dark ends on your hand
Both ends of a candle burning shine so brightly for a while
Rancours of a life reflecting in your smile
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger any way you may run to
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment if you dare
And forgotten names and places never really left behind
Is it here imagination seeking shelter from the rain
Or a long self conversation once again
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger any way you may run to
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment if you dare
Gentle past at once surrender at what you didn't understand
Conquest of the night that ended holding you with trembling hands
In a book a fall leaf-clover marks the days at below
Till she found that it was over long ago
Little thanks had most of meaning leaving only emptiness
Tender words and simple feelings never eased your hungriness
Yesterdays remain so sudden and tomorrows round the bend
Can you read the line that dark ends on your hand
Both ends of a candle burning shine so brightly for a while
Rancours of a life reflecting in your smile
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger any way you may run to
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment if you dare
