about

A song about Ron leaving Harry and Hermione behind and the two remaining to pick up the pieces.

Based on The Harry Potter Series By JK Rowling (no copyright infringement intended. I do not own the characters or plot line. Only the music, lyrics, and recording)
The male voice in the dialogue at the beginning of this song belongs to Jim Dale from the audio book recording of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. No copyright infringement intended.

lyrics

Voices:
“I get it. You chose him.”
“Ron, no—please—come back, come back!”
“He’s g-g-gone!”

How could you, thought you were my friend
Standing here, unable to comprehend
Didn’t we have something to defend?
Never would have predicted this end
Our trio now broken down to two
Didn’t it mean anything to you?
Thought I knew you, thought I knew
In the end there’s nothing I could do

CHORUS:
Retreating shadow into pouring rain
I listen to her calling your name
Don’t you realize none of this was ever a game?
I have only myself to blame

We try to avoid speaking your name
Every time it causes her such pain
I never forced her to stay
Nothing’s ever gonna be the same
Snow on my parent’s tombstone’s you’ll never see
All because you chose to be free
No longer you, me, her; us three
Now only she is here for me

CHORUS

Only shadows
Sleeping, sleeping…Under snow
Only shadows
We’re the only ones who know

CHORUS

Only shadows
I see a distant glow
