Shadows Of My Memory

I cry in anger

i cry in pain

i lose my bearings

can´t break the chain

once i heard that wonders never cease

let me get my second wind please

do i have to burn my boats behind ?

Do i have to break the ice in mind ?

just let me see the daylight now

and find the ways and means to carry on somehow

no smoke without fire

no love without pain

only the memories remain

it tears at my heartstrings

a past reverie

the shadows of my memory

i eat my heart out

day out, day in

go rack to ruin

cause i´m all in

did i burn the candles at both ends ?

Cannot tell when all got out of hand

all i feel is trapped in daily round

how can i get out here safe and sound

just let me see the daylight now

and find the ways and means to carry on somehow

no smoke without fire

no love without pain

only the memories remain

it tears at my heartstrings

a past reverie

the shadows of my memory

now, i see daylight now

in this evil hour

i´m weathering the storm

when my ship comes home

for a fleeting moment in a dream

i am changing horses in midstream

heaven only knows

where the journey...goes
