Elegy Shadow Dancer Lyrics

The day the war was over
So the story goes
You could hear the church bells ring
Hear the laughter
But with hope and glory
Lingers memories
In the dark a girl would dance
With her shadows

First she lose her father
In the burning debris
Sorrow took her mother so easily
So she was brought up in a house of strangers

Many years went by
So her torment grew
A place where children mustn't cry
Not a soul to talk to
She created her friends
Through a roomlit view
Hand in hand but never shy
The silent few

Locked in a room
The walls were closing in
It shocked her system
From within
So she lies staring at the images inside

Shadow dancer in the dark
It's okay to shed a tear
Remember time to forget
Shadow dancer in the dark
Let the shadows disappear
Shed a tear now
And time will do the rest
