Like a muddy river running wild and deep   You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me   Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in   I still feel the shadow of your distant friend      It's a major heartache when you lose your trust   When you love the feeling, it begins to rust   Just when the sun is shining, clouds set in   I still feel the shadow of your distant friend      I still feel the past each time you touch me   Will the fire in your mind never end?   I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes   I still feel the shadow of your distant friend      You know I really love you, but your heart's confused   By that aching fever that keeps haunting you   Just when I think it's over, it starts again   I still feel the shadow of your distant friend      I still feel the past each time you touch me   Will the fire in your mind never end?   I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes   I still feel the shadow of your distant friend
