Intro: I met her sadly in the slowly fallin’ rain Cryin’ softly in her loneliness and pain Knowin’ no one needin’ someone bad as me And she told me as I held her tremblin’ hand Walkin’ slowly how she’d never known a man Livin’ lonely in her cottage by the sea When the mornin’ came her tears had changed to laughter And before the night her heart beat close to mine And I thought as she lay sleepin’ of the secrets she was keepin’ Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind In the mornin’ as I wakened with the dawn Without warnin’ I could feel that she was gone Leavin’ nothin’ but her silence next to me And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand Walkin’ slowly for I knew where they would end Disappearin’ in the silence of the sea And I sometimes hear the echoes of her laughter As I search for what I know I’ll never find ’Cause the answer I was seekin’ was the secret she’s still keepin’ Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind OUTRO: (fade)
