Help me for I’ve forgotten your Face,
I just remember your Shadow
And the way it came and went, were you something
Heaven sent,
I’ll always wonder…….
Was it a dream, cause it passed, just as fast,
I remember the feel, of your stare, as I passed
And I remember your shadow
I remember the nightmares, the silent screams,
The voodoo pictures that hang in your dreams
The holiday lights and the sacred clay
The car you drove, the bed where you lay
What I would give for one look, one last time
Even a glimpse, through a glass, filled with wine
How could I forget something, so sublime
I’ll search for your face, until the end of time
I turned around, and there you were
But your memory is blocked
There’s just a shadow, where you stood,
A flicker of a flame………
The last time I saw your face was by surprise,
But the real surprise was the look of your eyes
Panicked and wide from what ran loose inside
It’s fingers pulled your strings from side to side.
To see your beauty buried deep beneath that mask
There was no need, to even really ask
Just a need, to turn and forget
A need that soon became my regret
I turned around, and there you were
But your memory is blocked
There’s just a shadow, where you stood
A flicker of a flame
I looked down, and there you were
But that time it wasn’t you
It was a face, I wished to forget
and then my wish came true…
