Shadows Dance Tonight

Whispers in the night
Try to frighten me

Shadows dance tonight
Dark spaces move around me

Scarred mind lingers on
Afraid of what to be

Alone but not alone
Someone is here for me

The shadows dance tonight
They linger and I see

But while she's by my side
While only she loves me 

The shadows need to hide
Because their darkness can't have me
