Shadow of a Distant Friend

(Steve Dean/Roger Murrah)



Like a muddy river runnin' 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

Then the love you're feelin' begins to rust

Just when the sun is shinin', doubt creeps in

I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.



I still feel the past each time you touch me

Will that fire in your mind ever end

I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes

'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.



You know, I really love you, but your heart's confused

By that achin' 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 that fire in your mind ever end

I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes

'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.



Yeah, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend...
