What the Shadows Bring

Such beauty the shadows bring
That slowly melts away from me
What's once thought passion, pure desire
Built from baby's breath and dragon's fire

I'm never gonna know
Never gonna know your name

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray dear lord my soul ain't cheap
If I die before I wake
I fear I've made a big mistake

Is this curse never gonna go
Never gonna go away?
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna know your name

What then sprang forth an angel's smile
Which left my world so beguiled
You sang of love and honesty
A language kept away from me

I'm never gonna know
Never gonna know your name
