In the silent views of the night
When souls are filled with sorrow
I thought that day had been a dream
A dream within a nightmare
To keep an eye on the flowers
Over their magical presence
A voice from the past cries now
And all its days are trances
I felt her once..., once only
I must not say how much it was
Beneath the silvery moonlight
Gave out in return for the love light
The pearly lustre of the moon went down
Smelled no more her rose scent,
It smiled and died since she departed
The heart of the shadowflower...
Slided away Shadowflower
In the silent views of the night
When souls are filled with sorrow
I thought that day had been a dream
A dream within a nightmare
To keep an eye on the flowers
Over their magical presence
A voice from the past cries now
And all its days are trances
Her shadow gave me sigh for sigh
When deep black clouds are forming
Less bright are the stars in the moonlight
Which I worship in the sky
The pearly lustre of the moon went down
Smelled no more her rose scent
It smiled and died since she departed
The heart of the shadowflower...

It's so strange to arrange it, you know I wouldn't change it

But hear me if you're near me, can I just rearrange it?

I think his magic might be real
I can't get to you from your garden gate
You know it's always locked by the magistrate
Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's just a lie
To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try
If the good times get you through
I know the dogs won't bother you
We'll be gone in moonshine time
I've got a place they'll never find
You know I do believe in your hexagram
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?
Did you trip or slip on their gifts, you know you were just a con?
You knew it, why d'you do it, I've been hiding in the dark
Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
