Strangely I have been feeling happy today
Yesterday I met the dark night of my soul
Some light is emerging from the end of the tunnel
I hope it will help me climb out of my hole
I dug myself in deep to escape my own shadow
It followed me around like we were joined at the hip
On turning it disappeared in a puff of green smoke
But it always came back after a good nights kip
The longer I battled for the sake of my sanity
The more I wanted to swallow the pills
What could be worse than drowning in pity
Not rising above society’s ills?
I stuffed myself full of mothers little helpers
To feed the craving my needy shadow was calling
I managed to drown the cause of the pain
Which only hardened the blow of my inevitable falling
I looked around for a shoulder to cry on
Or a hand to help me back onto my feet
All I could see was you in the distance
Struggling in your own way to make ends meet
We met in the cave where the losers dream
Immediately recognising we had something to share
You looked at my shadow and pointed it out
I thanked God for at last someone showed care
Last night we danced round in circles of love
This morning I came back to earth with a thump
My bones may be broken but my heart feels no pain
I think I’m over the worst of my slump
All it needs now is for two hearts to be one
Independent but united in the search for glory
The shadow and the light have been introduced
Something tells me this is just the start of the story
Cheers!
