Lyrics

Shadows

[Verse 1]

You're harbourin' a private sadness

I still remember all your magic

Even if you don't

The shadows always seemed to find you

Thought no one knows you better than I do

I'll just have to wait here patient for them to go

For I know you'll come back around

I'm looking for a little light

That the shadows cannot find

[Pre-Chorus]

I'd give it all back

If I could just find a way to help you cope

And pull you out whenever they come

The harder I try, yeah, the tighter they hold

I know, I know I should know better

But with you, I don't

[Chorus]

Just stay on the line, give me a little time

I want you and all of thе shadows that walk beside you

Just stay on the linе, I'll be there in time

I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you

[Verse 2]

I try to wrap my arms around you

But someone has already found you

And they won't let you go

The shadows know you better than I do

They seem to know exactly where to find you

I'll just have to wait here patient for them to go

What if you don't come back around?

In this blue twilight

I found a place that we could hide

[Pre-Chorus]

I'd give it all back

If I could just find a way to help you cope

And pull you out whenever they come

The harder I try, yeah, the tighter they hold

I know, I know I should know better

But with you, I don't

[Chorus]

Just stay on the line, give me a little time

I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you

Just stay on the line, I'll be there in time

I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you

[Bridge]

I just need a moment to compose myself

I just need a moment to compose myself

I just need a moment to compose myself

I just need a moment

[Chorus]

Just stay on the line, give me a little time

I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you

Just stay on the line, I'll be there in time

I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
