Footprints of Angels

When you walked through that door
I was left with all (that) you were
With your words echoing
In the shade of all yesterdays gone by

In between was and be
Lies a void filled with rain
And these ghosts all around
Playing scenes that will never be

When I could not let it go
When I could not learn to grow
Your mark became my weight
Walking down backward roads
To relive a precious scene,
Trying to find release

What I was, what I am
What I ever shall remain
Walks within a certain shade

When you stole from my room
With your salt burning on my skin
Took your face from the wall
Afraid to walk the long night all alone

When I could not let it go
When I could not learn to grow
When your mark became a weight
Racing down aimless streams
To float on changeless days
Trying to find direction

What you were, what you are
What you ever shall remain
Walks within a certain shade
Silently and without me

When you walked through that door
I was left with all that you were
With these words echoing
In the shade of all yesterdays
