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 lose her father  in the burning debris

sorrow took her mother so castly  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
