Lyrics:

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...
