Shadows

[Verse 1]

I fall in the cutting room

Straight to the floor before the film is through

Every day in my head, that field of razor wire

Come a little closer, honey, and touch the fire

[Chorus]

How long do I have here with you?

The flowers that once were in bloom

Shadows

[Verse 2]

Heaven waits in the darkness of a room

And the shaking at the gates from here to Timbuktu

Cold front rolls in like a black balloon

And it sinks into your soul and you tell it what you knew

[Chorus]

How long do I have here with you?

How long do I have here with you?

How long?

The flowers that once were in bloom

Are shadows

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

The mystery of the stars that fell from your eyes

Watch it as it burns like a signal fire

That mountain is tall and you know you'll have to climb

Put your arms around me and let's go for a ride

[Chorus]

How long do I have here with you?

How long do I have here with you?

How long?

How long?

Before the shadows
