Lyrics
I met her sadly in the slowly falling rain
I encountered her sadly during a gentle rain.
Crying softly in her loneliness and pain
She was crying softly, expressing her loneliness and pain.
Knowing no one needin' someone bad as me
She had no one and needed someone, and I felt I was that person.
And she told me as I held her trembling hand
While holding her trembling hand, she shared her story with me.
Walking slowly how she'd never known a man
She had never experienced a man's companionship, living lonely by the sea.
Living lonely in her cottage by the sea
Her solitude was in her seaside cottage.
When the morning came her tears had changed to laughter
By morning, her tears transformed into laughter.
And before the night her heart beat close to mine
Her heart became close to mine by nightfall.
And I thought as she lay sleeping of the secrets she was keeping
While she slept, I pondered the secrets she might be hiding.
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind
In the silence, there were hidden secrets in the shadows of her mind.
In the morning as I wakened with the dawn
As morning came, I realized she was gone.
Without warning I could feel that she was gone
Without warning, she left only silence beside me.
Leaving nothing but her silence next to me
Lonely footprints in the sand led me to follow her path.
And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand
Her footprints disappeared into the silence of the sea.
Walking slowly for I knew where they would end
Disappearing in the silence of the sea
I followed her footprints, knowing they led to the sea's silence.
And I sometimes hear the echo of her laughter
Occasionally, I hear echoes of her laughter.
As I search for what I know I'll never find
Searching for something I'll never find.
For the answer I was seeking was the secrets she's still keeping
The answer I sought was the secrets she continues to keep.
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind
Hidden in the silence of the shadows of her mind.
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind
