Dances with shadows
ChristyLee Colby 1983
The fire is bright
And she sits in the dark
Dancing with shadows
With the moon in the sky
Twilight's violet blue
The twinkle of chimes as the wind joins too
dancing with shadows
All becomes dark in the deep of night
Its quiet and loud
And the dawn will bring light
But she wont speak a sound
Dancing with shadows
