Analysis of Dancing Shadows of Yesterday
Escape from my memories,
Dissolve like the mist,
Evade from my thoughts,
By dawn's early kiss.
Shift with the winds,
On cold winter's play,
Move away now,
Find your own way.
For you're just a phantom,
A moment long gone,
Hide among the stars,
Till the break of dawn.
