Lyrics
0:16Shadows long upon my face
0:20Shadows long upon my face
0:30She's gone
0:36On the last train
0:45Never thought that she would go
0:49Never thought that she would go
0:59Now I'm all on my own
1:12Oh I've been hit
1:15The love affair is over
1:20And I know that I'm alone
1:36Need a day I need a night
1:40Need a day I need a night
1:50I know I'm gonna see the light
2:06Lover's darkness on my head
2:09Lover's darkness on my head
2:19And it's all a shade of red
2:32Oh I've been hit
2:35Tthe love affair is over
2:40And I know that I'm alone
2:56If you think that I'm afraid
3:00Never knew what I am made
3:04Remember all the things in you
3:07And everything you put me through
3:47Here's a little lullaby
3:51Wash your tears and don't you cry
3:54Cause you are inside of me
3:58Leave my heart and let me be
4:02In a lonely crowded life
4:05To a place beyond the sky
4:09Where our love won't fade away
4:13Waiting to be born again
4:16Waiting to be next to me
4:20Weight of sorrow
4:22Weight of gold
4:23Way your words can now unfold
4:27Way you couldn't let me stay
4:31Live my life and walk away
4:34I'll be there and so will you
4:38When the known is in it's power
4:42When the young is in it's flower
4:45You reached out to fill a need
4:49Walked away in word and deed
4:53Go and haunt your dreams no more
4:56In a silence in a room
5:00In a quiet in a mood
5:03I'll remember every day
5:07That your promise never gave
5:11Never to return again
5:14Those in love do what they need
5:18Light a candle plant a seed
5:22I'll return when things have changed
5:25Live and die and born again
5:29Through the night and through the way
5:33Painted pictures in your mind
5:36Can you leave it all behind
5:40Loss and love and live again
5:44Shake my hand and call me friend
5:47Hate will be the death of your
5:51Stranger sorrow let me go
5:54Down a dark and lonely road
5:58Ways of light to show my way
6:01Ways of love to heal my pain
6:05All of this I ask in you
Shadows long upon my face Shadows long upon my face She's gone On the last train Never thought that she would go Never thought that she would go Now I'm all on my own Oh I've been hit The love affair is over And I know that I'm alone Need a day I need a night Need a day I need a night I know I'm gonna see the light Lover's darkness on my head Lover's darkness on my head And it's all a shade of red Oh I've been hit Tthe love affair is over And I know that I'm alone If you think that I'm afraid Never knew what I am made Remember all the things in you And everything you put me through Here's a little lullaby Wash your tears and don't you cry Cause you are inside of me Leave my heart and let me be In a lonely crowded life To a place beyond the sky Where our love won't fade away Waiting to be born again Waiting to be next to me Weight of sorrow Weight of gold Way your words can now unfold Way you couldn't let me stay Live my life and walk away I'll be there and so will you When the known is in it's power When the young is in it's flower You reached out to fill a need Walked away in word and deed Go and haunt your dreams no more In a silence in a room In a quiet in a mood I'll remember every day That your promise never gave Never to return again Those in love do what they need Light a candle plant a seed I'll return when things have changed Live and die and born again Through the night and through the way Painted pictures in your mind Can you leave it all behind Loss and love and live again Shake my hand and call me friend Hate will be the death of your Stranger sorrow let me go Down a dark and lonely road Ways of light to show my way Ways of love to heal my pain All of this I ask in you
