The day the war was over, so the story goes
You could hear the churchbells ring
Hear the laughter
But with hope and glory, lingers memories
In the dark a girl would dance
With her shadows

First she lost her father In the burning debris
Sorrow took her mother so easily
So she was
Brought up in a house of strangers

Many years went by, so her torment grew
A place where children mustn't cry
Not a soul to talk too
She created her friends
Through a roomlit view
Hand in hand but never shy, the silent few

Locked in a room, the walls were closing in
It shocked her system from within
So she lies, staring at the images inside

Shadow dancer in the dark
It's o.k. to shed a tear
Remember time to forget
Shadow dancer in the dark
Let the shadows disappear
Shed a tear now, and time will do the rest
