Lyrics
Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are two of me
One does the right thing
One cannot see
Standing back to back
Who is the strong one
In the last act?
Every path I take
Roads I go down
Choices I make
Take me right between
Patches of light and
Darkness in me
Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows-
Every move
They secretly make
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
They run away
They pull us away
Oh
And the shadows prove
Falling behind
Tracing each move, oh
When I do some wrong
There is no hiding
Shadows are long
So we have to keep
A watch on our shadows
Every move (every move)
They secret make, yeah, yeah
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
Pull us away
They pull us away
We have to keep
A watch on our shadows
Every move
They secretly make, yeah
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
They pull us away
Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows
Every move they secretly make, yeah
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
Pull us away
Pull us away
Pull us away
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
