So, someone was sleeping while she did her leaving Cowards go in the night
She did her leaving
And how can I blame her
Who has the nerve to fight
She knows of course she knows That nothing could tear us apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart
I tried to persuade her in vain, of course later Thatʼs something that Iʼd deny
I knew it was better to say in my letter That I never even tried
She knows, of course she knows And one day sheʼll tear me apart
This shadow that she leaves on my heart
Sheʼs leaving, sheʼs leaving, my alter sheʼs 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 sheʼd tear me apart
The shadow that she left on my heart
Sheʼs leaving, sheʼs leaving, my alter sheʼs leaving Where will I go to hide She lives on the
shadows of my mind
