Shadows

Maybe we fell in love that night

When the clouds hid the stars and

We held out our hearts, certain they'd stay

Hidden, or maybe it was the mourning

The forced smiles as we woke

From an old dream, you're as beautiful

As you've ever been, a sight to behold

And a sweet soul to leave again

So when I saw you dressed

In that desperate scent

Dancing between strangers and friends

Maybe I fell in love then

Or maybe it was the morning when

I saw you sitting on the balcony

Holding a cigarette and frowning

At the world the sunrise had given you

Or when we forced a kiss, and I tasted a hint

Of passion, 'fore you gave in, glanced at your wrist

Yes, you really should be going

I agree, it's been great knowing you

We'll see each other again soon

Or soon as we're looking

For someone to share our loneliness with

Maybe it was love, but then

I've certainly had enough, I'll call

If the clouds dare hide the stars

And I'm left standing in the dark

Alone, thinking of you.
