I saw two shadows walking
Yet I was there alone –
Two shadows softly drifting
As I walked on my own.
Two shadows in the sunlight
Two shadows there with me –
As I turned round to see them
One mine, the other he.
But he was not there with me
Not there, not by my side,
Yet still two shadows lingered
Though long ago he died.
I saw two shadows walking
Upon that lovely day –
I saw one softly drifting
Then slowly fade away.
