Elegy - Shadow Dancer lyrics

rate me

The day the war was over, so the story goes

you could hear the churchbells ring hear the laughter

but with hope and glory, lingers memories

in the dark a girl would dance with her shadows

First she lose her father in the burning debris

sorrow took her mother so castly so she was

brought up in a house of strangers

Many years went by so her torment grew a place where children mustn't cry

not a soul to talk too she created her friends through a roomlit view

hand in hand but never shy, the silent few

Locked in a room the walls were closing in

it shocked her system from within so she lies staring at the images inside

Shadow dancer in the dark it's O.K. to shed a tear

remember time to forget shadow dancer in the dark

let the shadows disappear shed a tear now, and time will do the rest
