Like a muddy river running wild and deep You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in I still feel the shadow of your distant friend It's a major heartache when you lose your trust When you love the feeling, it begins to rust Just when the sun is shining, clouds set in I still feel the shadow of your distant friend I still feel the past each time you touch me Will the fire in your mind never end? I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes I still feel the shadow of your distant friend You know I really love you, but your heart's confused By that aching fever that keeps haunting you Just when I think it's over, it starts again I still feel the shadow of your distant friend I still feel the past each time you touch me Will the fire in your mind never end? I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes I still feel the shadow of your distant friend
