Shadows they dance,
they dance along the walls
Faces going nowhere
but seeing it all

Midnight trains making their rounds
As moonlight glistens and litters the ground
On the sidewalk you used to walk home to

Isabella my dear
Why must we pretend
that heartache and love,
doesn't go hand in hand?

This night reminds me of the girl you once were,
Before the world robbed you of your laughter,
and left behind but a murmur

We must not find company among ghosts they say
For fear of getting lost in the darkness
while we await the day

Dear Isabella, take my hand
Before the Earth swallow you up
like a rock among sand
Leaving  you alone in its wake
