In Love With A Shadow lyrics

I found seven magazines forgotten in the attic's gloom Every page was holding fragments of a fading dream They told the story of a woman who gave away her heart To a shadow living in the darkness from the start With eyes so blue and such an enchanting smile It seemed to bring her peace, seemed to stay for a while But the shadow she kept following without a single clue Never had a place where her love could make it through And the more she ran behind The farther he would go It was a never-ending dream That hurt her soul so slow She fell in love with a shadow Held the wind and called it love Built her castles out of smoke While facing storms above When the stones were breaking her spirit And hope was fading from her sight She found strength within her faith And learned to rise and fight Long days, cold nights, tears falling to the ground Asking silence for the answers she could never seem to find Every scar along her journey carried lessons she would learn Not every shining light is meant for every heart to earn And the wounds she carried took a long time to heal But hidden courage taught her what was truly real For the one who faces storms and still believes somehow Will discover new horizons waiting just beyond the clouds The shadow disappeared with the breaking of the dawn Like a dream that time had taken and forever carried on But the woman found her light And finally saw her worth A brighter path before her A new beginning on this earth She fell in love with a shadow But found the truth within her pain Now her steps are strong and steady Guided by a love that remains When the stones try to knock her down Her faith helps her stand once more Because the one who learns from losing Learns what wings are for
