V3.5

[Verse 1]
In Webster's Grove
Whispers unseen
Lost in the labyrinth the ordinary routine
Miriam's shutting down
Lights out for the night
A figure appeared
Shadowing the light

[Verse 2]
In her heart a flutter
A fear taking hold
Her husband's gone
Two weeks untold
Is it his footsteps
Echo in her head?
Or just a phantom playing tricks instead?

[chorus]
The Shadow in the doorway
Mysterious and unknown
Miriam's mind wandering
Thoughts all overblown
Every creak of the floor
Causing her to stare
Once a loving home
Now filled with despair

[mournful slide guitar solo]

[verse 3]
Miriam threw open the door
A child stood, nothing more
tiny hand raised to fall
eyes a black frozen gleam

[spoken dialogue]
"May I come in" 
[end dialogue]

a small voice calls

[verse 4]
Miriam crumbled, hollow eyes
fear coursed ice down her spine
tiny voice
 [spoken dialogue]
"please I'm all alone"
[end dialogue]

Fear that little death, door slammed
knock knock na-knock
Miriam voiced,

[ spoken dialogue]
"I can't"
Please I'm all alone, all alone"
[end dialogue]

[sad bass guitar solo]

[Chorus]
The Shadow in the doorway
Mysterious and unknown
Miriam's mind wandering
Thoughts all overblown
Every creak of the floor
Causing her to stare
Once a loving home
Now filled with despair
The Shadow in the Doorway

[verse 5]
Miriam held the door
Trembling with fear
Pounding of tiny fists
Filling her ears
A child's wail
But she knew deep inside
It was not alright

[sad bass guitar solo]

Verse 6]
No child stood at her doorstep
That much was clear
A dark presence
Filling her with fear
Hollowed eyed stare
A darkened soul
A black clad monster
In a child's frame it seemed

[Verse 7]
The fight in her
She won't ignore
Back to the door
Fear rising No more
Harry's voice
Whisper in her ear

[Whispered dialogue]
"You're not alone" 
[end dialogue]

now the fear's not there

[mournful slide guitar solo]

[mournful slide guitar break]

[verse 8]
Fires raised
She faces the door
Unafraid
She's ready for more

[Angry spoken dialogue]
"Go away!" 
[end dialogue]

So strong
She'll win this fight
All along

A shriveled voice
Weak and small

[Whispered spoken dialogue]
"I'm all alone" 
[end dialogue]

She shouts

[angry spoken dialogue] 
"Not tonight"
[end dialogue]

She won the fight
At Dawns Light

I'm not Alone

[sad bass guitar solo]

[Verse 9]
Miriam was
Lost and afraid
In the darkness
A shadow conveyed
But in the light
It disappeared
mysteries to be cleared

[Verse 10]
Not alone
She thought she'd be
But a presence
It set her free
Vanished into thin air
Without a trace
 an unanswered embrace

Shadow at the door

A Shadow no more

[whispered spoken dialogue]
You're not alone
[mournful slide guitar break]

[end]
