The Shadow of Your Distant Friend

Like a muddy river running wild and deep

You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me

Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in

I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

It's a major heartache when you lose your trust

When you love the feeling, it begins to rust

Just when the sun is shining, clouds set in

I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

I still feel the past each time you touch me

Will the fire in your mind never end?

I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes

I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

You know I really love you, but your heart's confused

By that aching fever that keeps haunting you

Just when I think it's over, it starts again

I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

I still feel the past each time you touch me

Will the fire in your mind never end?

I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes

I still feel the shadow of your distant friend
