ONE SHADOW LONG

There are journeys
Maybe fated
To be journeyed lone
Alone

So when my footsteps
Tread
That fated bridge
Twas I
One shadow long

Upon reaching
For a soothing hand
I heard it said 
You go ahead
I'll  hold this end
I can't come friend
It's dark
I cannot see

There are journeys
Somewhat fated
To be journeyed lone,
Alone

But know you
Once that bridged
Is crossed
There is no way back
Or home

So no,
I cannot hear you
When you talk the same
To me

I have no ears 
For the words 
You say
We are bridged apart
By sea

For I am deafened
Now
By a raging roar
Whilst you stand lone
On the old land's
Shore
