shadows of the sun

she reaches out and touches you
quietly in the dark

and her cold fingers freeze slowly
around your unsuspecting heart

she'll never let you go
wherever you may run

wherever you may run to
She'll be waiting in the dark

you've run away, far from home
left everything you've ever known

then suddenly,
laughing over coffee
in an ungaurded moment
she'll steal up quietly

and her icy fingers squeeze slowly
around your unsuspecting heart

she'll smile as she swallows
your startled gasp of pain

noone will hear
your silent screams fade

noone will see
your spasms of pain

all that will show
is an absence in your eyes,

as they gaze in the distance,
far away ...

and noone knows how far it is
as she slowly slips away

with all that golden forgetful laughter
melted in a corner of your eye

and as u smilingly make some excuse
a worldly, grownup reason why

know one knows
she'll be back, sure as she went away.

they say some wounds never heal.
she'll always be right behind.

wherever you may run to,
she'll be right behind.
