Hello again
My shadow friend
I don't know where home went
Don't know how daylight was spent
But it seems that night
Draws close to my eyes
I'll hold you tight
So you won't leave my sight
My angel of dreams
Has left it seems
Hung from the rafter beams
Swore she would never leave

But she was scared
Can't hide her eyes
I needed her there
To breathe my sighs
But there was no compromise
For her demise
How can she visit me
When my eyes can't see
No matter how much I sleep
I couldn't be free
There wasn't a reprieve
Not for her I believe
My dreams faded with hope
Dragging her below
But if there's anything she knows
It's that I won't always be alone

Someday the shadow and me
We'll have some company
So bright will you be
I'll be helpless when I see
You'll know I believe
And you'll rescue me
We'll find my angel of dreams
And I'll embrace her again
My heart stitched at the seams
She'll come back to me then
The dark may take me now
And leave me here unknown
But you'll find me somehow
And never again will I be so alone
