Here I stand A victim of your perfect graces Clutching souvenirs of all the places We visited searching for love Yes here I stand A broken warrior of days gone by Holding fast to memories of you and I Making true the dreams that we were dreaming of But times have changed I no longer have that feeling at night That everything will be all right If I just take you in my arms and hold fast Yes time have changed I feel so empty inside And I know I can't forever hide Behind shadows, shadows of the past So I'll collect my gear and pack my bags Shut my doors and lower my flags But if you ever decide you want to come back I'm yours I'm yours I'm yours Yours for the asking Neon lights Blink as silent voices for the city Where the girls all try to look pretty Or at least pretty easy to please And uptown The angels gather in the street Hoping for a chance to meet A stranger of the proper caste And as I watch each Romeo pick out his Juliet I find I have not forgotten yet My shadows, shadows of the past So I'll collect my gear and pack my bags Shut my doors and lower my flags But if you ever decide you want to come back I'm yours I'm yours I'm yours Yours for the asking Night has fallen The city streets are empty and dark But on Lover's Lane the cars are parked Rocking to the music of love In whispers Vows of assurance are spoken Vows for a bond that can't be broken Sworn by name of Heaven above And I think back to when I played that game with you We promised a love forever true I just wish I'd known how long forever would last And I try God knows how hard I try How I try and try to say goodbye To my shadows, shadows of the past So I'll collect my gear and pack my bags Shut my doors and lower my flags But if you ever decide you want to come back I'm yours I'm yours I'm yours Yours for the asking My shadows, my shadows of the past How long will they last My shadows, shadows of the past My shadows, my shadows of the past How long will they last My shadows, shadows of the past Tormented And haunted by bittersweet memories that jar the senses with images so real I have to reach out some times Expecting you to still be there It all comes back... The scent of your perfume The touch of soft cotton as it clings to your body Gently, almost caressing A single bead of perspiration as it inches its way slowly down your neck Then just as suddenly I'm left alone With nothing other than shadows of you to fill my desperate hours My shadows.... my shadows...
