Shadows of You

Dark it was when my eyes fell upon you For how can I love such temptress like you? Shadows of you I bear in my heart And voices of you echoing inside Get away! Get away! Oh! How I ran from the gaze of you Only to find myself knelling to you To touch, to feel you, the curve, the shape But I can’t I won’t for sorrows you bring Get away! Get away! Break this chain of thorns and let me go So memories of you be gone in past For this quite little child is crying Ensnared in a little trap you called love Get away! Get away! Shadows of you.
