I met her sadly in the slowly falling rain
  Crying softly in her loneliness and pain
  Knowing no one, needing 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, of 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 echo 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.
