I don't know why but somehow there came to be
Across my heart and on everything I see
Upon the earth and deep inside of me
A sad, sad shadow

It's not the way it's supposed to be I guess
But I can't imagine otherwise I must confess
Tell me why I'm so full of emptiness
And sad, sad shadow

It's a secret I know I'll never find
For what purpose am I so designed
And what has cast across my heart and mind
This sad, sad shadow
