I never thought... we’d see each other
Just where we met, so long ago
Shy soft glances we shared back then
Repeated over with sad regrets

I can’t believe... It’s you beside me
You look just like..., so long ago
When you smiled and you talked too much
When you were nervous... it made me laugh

We both have moved on, I've got a family
There’s nothing left for us to share today
It's the way we used to be
Shadows in the past

That little spark....That made me love you
I see it's back again tonight
There not room left for me and you
and closing doors won't make it right 

So how are you? I guess you’re married
Are you still working for the company?
Never knew you at all that well 
I had a chance, but... that boat has sailed 

We used to be... so good together
It seems so many years ago
Many summers have passed us by
They Fade to brown then into grey 

We both have moved on
We both have changed our lives
We've both got loves and we've got families
It's the way we used to be
Shadows in the past

Still in the past... My heart is racing
I want it back... But I just can't.....
Everything that we used to share
It's broken now.... can't be repaired...

We both must move on
We both have changed our lives
We've both got loves and we've got families
It's the way we used to be
Shadows in the past

I have to go
I need to go
It was so nice ..But oh
It's the way that we used to be
Shadows in the past

Shadows In The Past (EP - Hopes and Dreams)

Ghosts

I heard you like time signature changes. This track is for you.

I wanted to keep the theme of "Otherworld" going in my music, mainly for the more ambient tracks. You can tell I've been listening to a lot of Dream Theater lately.

Otherworld's Ballad

Cover of Read My Mind by The Killers. Candice really likes the cover Golda May did.

Lyrics
____________________________

I want you to be the first thing I see
When I wake up from dreaming about you
Sweet sleepy head your warmth in my bed
Your yawn when my arm glides around you

I make you some tea and egg toast with cheese
And arrange it solemnly on a sheet
"You smile at me lovingly, you care for me touchingly", you say when I kiss you in Mandrake Suite

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34
I discovered a natural beauty I couldn’t ignore, nevermore

Oh my god I fell back asleep till I heard the door-sweep
While you already showered and look fully dressed
You tell me it’s a crime but we ran out of time
And a client is waiting, I hope he’s the last

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34...

Aah, you’re the first thing
Aah, let me be the last thing
