Erin Mackey - Shadows of Innocence lyrics

[Verse 1] I hear an awful song on the breeze Listening through the seals and rigging of my prison on the seas And kiss my lover face I see when I close my eyes [?] [Chorus] And as the days of my life arrive Distant memories haunt my mind I see momentary glimpses shadows of innocence My sins I've left behind Memories of those of my only chance for love And the place I long to run [Verse 2] Can I ever explain Longing for a man who only brings me sorrow and pain Who holds my fate in such deep stain He can barely speak god's name And tell me why is my heart still drawn To a love I know is wrong Sometimes all it is within me Longs for god to give me the strength just move on And how can I face this sleepless night And another tearful dawn [Chorus] And as the days of my life arrive Distant memories haunt my mind I see momentary glimpses shadows of innocence My sins I've left behind Would I be there in your arms tonight And why must I face this sleepless night And another tearful dawn And another tearful dawn
