HER SILHOUETTE
HER SILHOUETTE
(T. Beechey)
Throughout the day, there isn't a sign
All is okay and everything's fine
The world is all yours from the onset of dawn
Till you close the doors and begin to yawn
You try to forget
But time will refuse
Her silhouette
Will still be in view
It was so long ago
You just cannot let
Yourself ever go
From her silhouette
No one can tell the hurt that you wear
You hide it so well as you go here and there
During the morning and afternoon
There's never a warning of what coming soon
You try to forget
But time will forbid
Her silhouette
Will never stay hid
It was so long ago
But at every sunset
Upon every window
Will be her silhouette
No one assumes by your smile
That sadness looms all the while
Just waiting to make its presence known
As evening awakes and you're all alone
You try to forget
But time won't permit
Her silhouette
Still remains lit
It was so long ago
You're still always met
When lights are turned low
By her silhouette
Throughout the day you try to maintain
As you make your way, you dismiss the pain
From the time the sun rises, no one can guess
You wear the disguises of happiness
You try to forget
But time won't allow
Her silhouette
Still lingers somehow
It was so long ago
You're still in the debt
Of the nocturnal glow
Of her silhouette
