Shadows Of Her Mind Lyrics - Each Road I Take: The 1970 Lee Hazlewood & Chet Atkins Sessions - Eddy Arnold

SHADOWS OF HER MIND 

(Kris Kristofferson) 

'68 Careers BMG Music 

I met her sadly in the slowly falling rain 

Crying softly in her loveliness and pain 

Knowing no one needin' someone bad as me 

And she told me as I held her trembling hand 

Walking slowly how she'd never known a man 

Living lonely in her cottage by the sea 

When the morning came her tears had changed to laughter 

And before the night her heart beat close to mine 

And I thought as she lay sleeping bout the secrets she was keeping 

Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind 

In the morning as I wakened with the dawn 

Without warning I could feel that she was gone 

Leaving nothing but her silence next to me 

And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand 

Walking slowly for I knew where they would end 

Disappearing in the silence of the sea 

And I sometimes hear the echo of her laughter 

As I search for what I know I'll never find 

For the answer I was seeking was the secrets she's still keeping 

Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind 

Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind
