I met her sadly in the slowly fallin' rain
G C9 G
Cryin' softly in her loneliness and pain
C D G/B G G/B D4 G/B
Knowin' no one, needin' someone bad as me
G C9 G
And she told me as I held her tremblin' hand
G C9 G
Walkin' slowly, how she'd never known a man
C D G/B G G/B D4 G/B
Livin' lonely in her cottage by the sea
C D G
When the mornin' came her tears had changed to laughter
C D G
And before the night her heart beat close to mine
C D G G/F# Em
And I thought as she lay sleepin' of the secrets she was keepin'
C C/B Am D G/B G G/B D4 G/B
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind
G C9 G
In the mornin' as I wakened with the dawn
G C9 G
Without warnin' I could feel that she was gone
C D G/B G G/B D4 G/B
Leavin' nothin' but her silence next to me
G C9 G
And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand
G C9 G
Walkin' slowly, for I knew where they would end
C D G/B G G/B D4 G/B
Disappearin' in the silence of the sea
C D G
And I sometimes hear the echoes of her laughter
C D G
As I search for what I know I'll never find
C D G G/F# Em
'Cause the answer I was seekin' was the secret she's still keepin'
C C/B Am D G/B G G/B D4 G/B
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind
