Love's Long Shadow

Oh, yeah. The evening sun falls slow today, Leaving golden light to fade Away. Your picture rests upon the shelf Like it's waiting all by itself. I tell my heart to let you go, But love has roots that still grow. Every road I wander down brings your memory Around. Time may soften yesterday, But it can't wash your Love away. I'm living in love's long shadow, Where every light still leads to you. Every whisper in the wind Feels like we're beginning again. Though the years have come and gone, Your memory keeps holding on. No matter where this heart may roam, Love's long shadow leads me home. Oh. The rain keeps tapping on my door Like it did so many times before. I still reach across the bed For the warmth that's long since left. People say that life moves on, But some songs are never done. Your goodbye became a melody Still playing inside of me. If forever waits beyond the sky, Save a place where love survives. Until that day, my soul will stay Wrapped inside your light. I'm living in love's long shadow, Where every tear still shines for you. Every scar became a part Of the story in my heart. If this road should never end, I'll love you just the same. Until my final breath is through, I'll walk beneath love's long Shadow. The shadow never frightened me Because it was always shaped like Love.
