So, someone was sleeping while she did her leaving Cowards go in the night She did her leaving, and how could I blame her? Who has the nerve to fight? She knows, of course, she knows now Nothing could tear me apart She lives in the shadows of my heart I tried to persuade her In vain, of course, later That's something that I deny I knew it was better To say in my letter That I never even tried She knows, of course, she knows That one day she'll tear me apart The shadows that she live on my heart She's leaving, she's leaving My altar, she's leaving Where will I go to pray? I want her, I need her I long to believe her Words that she will not say And I knew Of course, I knew That one day she'd tear me apart The shadow that she left on my heart She's leaving, she's leaving My altar, she's leaving Where will I go to hide? She lives on the shadows of my mind
