Shadows Of Innocence

Shadows Of Innocence - Josh Young/Erin Mackey

Written by：Christopher Smith/Joseph Church/Frank Filipetti

I hear a mournful song on the breeze

Whistling through the sails and the rigging of my prison

On the seas

And whispering of a face I see

When I close my eyes to sleep

And as the days of my life unwind

Distant memories haunt my mind

I see momentary glimpses shadows of an innocence

I since have left behind

Lonely echoes of my only chance for love

And a peace I long to find

Can I ever explain

Longing for a man who only brings me sorrow and pain

Who holds my fate in such distain

He can barely speak God's name

And tell me why is my heart still drawn

To a love I know is wrong

Sometimes all that is within me

Longs for God to give me

The strength just move on

And another tearful dawn

And as the days of my life unwind

Distant memories haunt my mind

I see momentary glimpses shadows of an innocence

I since have left behind

Would I be there in her arms tonight

And why must I face this sleepless night

And another tearful dawn

And another tearful dawn
