I SAW YOU THERE

I saw you there

Standing in that pale light

But it wasn’t you

Only a shadow in the mist

Memories still belonging to you

Memories still belonging to you

A glance

Tears of sorrow

Like rain falling on the ground

Becoming a river between you and me

The water’s growing deeper and deeper

Waves whirling steeper and steeper

I saw you there

Standing in that pale light

But it wasn’t you

Only a shadow in the mist

Memories still belonging to you

Memories still belonging to you

A cry

Words of sorrow

Vows of times forever gone

Having not the slightest meaning anymore

No more than useless blows in the wind

A confession of someone who never sinned

I saw you there

Standing in that pale light

But it wasn’t you

Only a shadow in the mist

Memories still belonging to you

Memories still belonging to you
