The Shadows
The Shadows
The shadows follow me wherever I go,
like a lost soul sailing on the black sea in the night,
searching for the light to set them free.
Why do they follow me? Can it be I am their light?
Can I be the one that can set them free?
The shadows, the shadows, should I just let them be?
What can I do? They creep up on me.
They live in a dark world, alone and afraid, looking
for comfort and someone to come to their aide.
They lurke and breath, I can feel their breath and hear their sighs,
They keep approaching me how can I let this be?
If I close my eyes, they appear, when I close my eyes I feel their fears.
Maybe the light is not what they need, maybe the dark is comming for me.
Shadows, shadows, please go away I am not ready to leave this world, do not take me away.
