The day the war was over, so the story goes   you could hear the churchbells ring hear the laughter   but with hope and glory, lingers memories   in the dark a girl would dance with her shadows      First she lose her father in the burning debris   sorrow took her mother so castly so she was   brought up in a house of strangers      Many years went by so her torment grew a place where children mustn't cry   not a soul to talk too she created her friends through a roomlit view   hand in hand but never shy, the silent few      Locked in a room the walls were closing in   it shocked her system from within so she lies staring at the images inside      Shadow dancer in the dark it's O.K. to shed a tear   remember time to forget shadow dancer in the dark   let the shadows disappear shed a tear now, and time will do the rest
