Rick, my friend as well as family, and fellow musician (drummer) was killed in a car accident the lyrics to this song was read at his funeral

Shadow of Dreams

Shadows of dreams
In which I’ll never see
For today is my end
Please don’t you grieve
A lonely oak
Scared by plastic and steel
Sealed my fate
With one turn of the wheel

In the cover of darkness
The lonely oak grows
Maybe to take another life
The lord only knows
the tears of my loved ones
falling like rain
the words of comfort
cannot ease their pain

A ribbon on the tree
To always remember me
Photos in your heart
And pictures in your dreams
Shadows of Dreams

Spring will come
The oak will bloom
Another season passed
Your heartache will end soon
Time is the only thing
That can heal a broken heart
Go on with your life
And make a fresh start

Shadows of dreams
In which I’ll never see
For today is my end
Please don’t you grieve
A lonely oak
Scared by plastic and steel
Sealed my fate
With one turn of the wheel

A ribbon on the tree
To always remember me
Photos in your heart
And pictures in your dreams
A ribbon on the tree
To always remember me
Photos in your heart
And pictures in your dreams
Shadows of Dreams
Shadows of Dreams
Shadows of Dreams
Shadows of Dreams
