Joanna Daniel Poet Lyric

Shades of Darkness

Shades of darkness shrouded me
Ever since you left me alone
Lost all happiness I had known
Shades of darkness shrouded me

The sun has stopped shining bright
The moon and stars have lost their glow
Life is dull and going slow
Shades of darkness shrouded me

No more walks we have together
Where once we walked hand in hand
No more talks we have forever
Our love didn't withstand

Shades of darkness shrouded me
Where once the rainbow did shine
Where I loved you and we were fine
Shades of darkness shrouded me

Here I am sitting all alone
Thinking of you and only you
I wish my heart were made of stone
My love, adieu

Oh, how I wish your heart were mine
For mine is shattered battered bad
Oh please wipe away all my sad
Shades of darkness shrouded me

{Inspired by Gordon Lightfoot's "Ribbon of darkness" song. I never knew that a song could be sad and peppy at the same time, till I heard this beauty.}
