Kris Kristofferson - Shadows of Her Mind lyrics

I met her sadly in the slowly falling rain Crying softly in her loneliness and pain Knowing no one needin' someone bad as me And she told me as I held her trembling hand Walking slowly how she'd never known a man Living lonely in her cottage by the sea. When the morning came her tears had changed to laughter And before the night her heart beat close to mine And I thought as she lay sleeping bout the secrets she was keeping Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind. In the morning as I wakened with the dawn Without warning I could feel that she was gone Leaving nothing but her silence next to me And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand Walking slowly for I knew where they would end Disappearing in the silence of the sea. And I sometimes hear the echoe of her laughter As I search for what I know I'll never find For the answer I was seeking was the secrets she's still keeping Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind. Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind...
