One Less Shadow

One Less Shadow

Underneath a perfect

Autumn coloured sky

They walked together side by side

Until another season

Caused this love to roam

One less shadow

On the road back home

A heart must have a reason

Our eyes don't understand

There seems to be some unseen hand

Moving souls together

Tearing lives apart

One less shadow

By the old schoolyard

One shadow

Still leaning out

Across a summer lawn

Trying to find out

Where all the other shadows have gone....

Words can ring so hollow

When your eyes are full

Of love to comfort and console

This room without a window

This broom without a floor

One less shadow

Darkening my door

One less shadow

Darkening my door
