Shadows

Shadows - Demis Roussos

Written by：Stelios Vlavianos/Alec R. Costandinos

Shadows of a thousand faces keep on turning in your mind

And forgotten names and places never really left behind

Is it here imagination seeking shelter from the rain

Or a long self conversation once again

Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do

Silently they seem to linger any way you may run to

Sharing every joy or torment every laughter or despair

Facing you at any moment if you dare

Gentle past at once surrender at what you didn't understand

Conquest of the night that ended holding you with trembling hands

In a book a fall leaf clover marks the days at below

Till she found that it was over long ago

Little thanks had most of meaning leaving only emptiness

Tender words and simple feelings never eased your hungriness

Yesterdays remain so sudden and tomorrows round the bend

Can you read the line that dark ends on your hand

Both ends of a candle burning shine so brightly for a while

Rancours of a life reflecting in your smile

Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do

Silently they seem to linger any way you may run to

Sharing every joy or torment every laughter or despair

Facing you at any moment if you dare

Facing you at any moment if you dare
