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 things we do
I don't know how we always get through
Hurling back to back
Love comes to save us in the last half
There are two of me
One does the right thing, one cannot see
And she has no shame
Out of the darkness, she takes the blame
We'd like to keep a watch on our shadows
Every move they secretly make
We'd like to be so close to heaven
But then our shadows, they run away, they run away
So the shadows move
And what do we do, we give them room
When I do so wrong
I don't say I'm sorry, my pride is so strong
We'd like to keep a watch on our shadows
Every move they secretly make
We'd like to be so close to heaven
But then our shadows, they run away, they run away
(x2)
