A style that is difficult to place. Live favorite- lots of great riffs, vocal melodies, and cool middle eight section.

Inspired by Kate Bush track "Watching you without me" - (Lyrically) and the film "Truly, Madly, Deeply" and this is a similar theme. About the spirit of a loved one who has passed on, watching the people they have left behind and trying to reassure them and let them know it's ok to move on. Soppy git that i am!! Ha Ha

SHADOWS OF HOPE
(RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT)
AT NIGHT , AT NIGHT AS YOU CLUTCH YOUR PILLOW.
I YEARN , I YEARN TO REACH YOU , TO CONSOLE YOU.

PRE-CHORUS
IVE SLIPPED THROUGH LIFES FINGERS.
I’M TRAPPED BEHIND THE VEIL.
IVE SLIPPED THROUGH LIFES FINGERS.
CHORUS
AS YOU TALK TO SHADOWS OF HOPE.
I SEE OUR HOME YOUR ALONE.
TEARFUL EYES OF DISBELIEF.
AS YOU TALK TO SHADOWS OF HOPE.
SHADOWS OF HOPE.

YOUR LOSS AN ACHING VOID.
AND THE IRON HAS ENTERED YOUR SOUL.
RATIONAL THOUGHTS DISSOLVED IN TEARS.
YOUR HEART A GAPING HOLE.
I’M WITH YOU , YOU WILL KNOW.
I’M NEAR YOU , YOU WILL KNOW.
IT WILL SHOW.
IF ONLY I , IF ONLY I COULD WIPE YOUR TEARS.
IF ONLY I , I COULD EASE YOUR PAIN , BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE.
PRE-CHORUS
ASSURE YOU MY THOUGHTS WILL LIVE ON.
AND WILL WATCH OVER YOU THROUGH THE YEARS.
IVE SLIPPED THROUGH LIFES FINGERS.
(I’M WITH YOU , IN YOUR SEASON OF DISCONTENT.
ILL WATCH OVER YOU , I’M YOUR INVISIBLE SPECTATOR.)
