shadows of her mind

i met her sadly in the slowly falling rain, crying softly in her loveliness and pain, knowing no one needin' someone bad as me, and she told me as i held her trembling hand, walking slowly how she'd never known a man, living lonely in her cottage by the sea, when the morning came her tears had changed to laughter, and before the night her heart beat close to mine, and i thought as she lay sleeping 'bout the secrets she was keeping, hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind, in the morning as i wakened with the dawn, without warning i could feel that she was gone, leaving nothing but her silence next to me, and lonely footprints that i followed in the sand, walking slowly for i knew where they would end, disappearing in the silence of the sea, and i sometimes hear the echo of her laughter, as i search for what i know i'll never find, for the answer i was seeking was the secrets she's still keeping, hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind, hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind.
