Lost In the Shadows

Lost in the shadows (Duet) He sings: I see you in the dark, lost in the shadows, searching for the spark That...ignites a change, to help reality not feel so strange Bridge 1 I'm so sorry, it's so hard to see you like this, and I'm so afraid, that one day you'll be gone... And I'll wake up, and wish I hadn't She sings: I see you out there, looking at me you can't help but stare and it ...feels so strange I'm lost here, and nothings going to change Bridge 2 I'm sorry, I can't be with you in your time of need and I'm so afraid, that one day you'll be gone... And I'll wake up, and wish I hadn't Chorus (She sings) You need to hear me- I need you near me I'm so afraid of the dark This is a nightmare- and I am so scared I'm so lost in the shadows! I'm so lost in the shadows! Shine down on me Lord and save me now! Shine down on me Lord and save me now! He sings I can't take no more, there's no use- what are we trying for? 'Cause nothings going to change All that's left, is be together and wait Bridge 3 I'm sorry, that our life has come down to this, and I'm so afraid...that one day you'll be gone... then I'll wake up and wish I hadn't Chorus (She sings) You need to hear me- I need you near me I'm so afraid of the dark This is a nightmare- and I am so scared I'm so lost in the shadows! I'm so lost in the shadows! Shine down on me Lord and save me now! Shine down on me Lord and save me now! I'm so lost in the shadows! I'm so lost in the shadows! Shine down on me Lord and save me now! Shine down on me Lord and save me now! repeat and fade December 20,2018 John Derek Hamilton

You certainly have a way with words, for I absolutely love reading this wonderful poem of yours, you see that I read many poems a day but this is one of the favorite poems I have ever read in my life, everything about it was perfect, its rhythm and especially the flow, for the words were dancing all over the page, good luck and since it is 22 December today, so I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed your lyrics, John. This is really cool and rich with sentiment that flows wonderfully. I can imagine the pair singing to each other but never in unison. Alone together, and separate. Awesome write.

Hey Phillip, brave man, brave first comment, now the floodgates will open...thanks for the nice compliment. Songs are way easier to me than actual poetry, the musical background I guess. Take care
