The Wilder Blue - Shadows and Moonlight Lyrics

I stumbled from the bar just after midnight
That's when I saw her waiting all alone
At first I thought she somehow looked familiar
But her hollow eyes were cold and hard as stone

An old distant memory came to me
Of another midnight long ago
And it seemed as if the stranger saw right through me
So I quickly said goodnight and turned to go

Drinking deep from the bottle in my jacket
I turned into an alley off the street
I feared that she would follow but saw no one
I heard nothing but the scuffling of my feet

Then a hand grabbed me by the shoulder
And fear was a needle in my vein
I saw her hollow eyes lean in closer
Felt her breath as she was whisperin' my name

Lies like shadows in the moonlight
Hide from the coming of the sun
Memories come alive at midnight
And a haunted heart is always on the run

She hissed at me my name is Sarah Baker
I knew you when we both were seventeen
I was not pretty like my younger sister
With her golden hair and laughin' eyes of green

You took from her a love she did not offer
And shamed her into silence at the dawn
She lies awake when your memory haunts her
And I've waited all these years to right the wrong

Lies like shadows in the moonlight
Hide from the coming of the sun
Memories come alive at midnight
And a haunted heart is always on the run

She drew a blade as I stumbled backwards
I couldn't see her clearly through my tears
I knew that I finally met the judgement
I'd somehow been expecting all these years

I felt the blade deep beneath my ribcage
The blood flowing freely as I moaned
Then I awoke to find it was only whiskey
And I'd been dreaming in an alley all alone

Lies like shadows in the moonlight
Hide from the coming of the sun
Memories come alive at midnght
And a haunted heart is always on the run
