The city carved a silhouette
|
On the ocean after dark
|
Over the lonely and the holy
|
And the red blood beating hearts
|
Up from the dirty black water
|
The shadow void of form
|
Raised itself out of the river
|
And it climbed upon the shore
|
|
Neon on the black top
|
There's a gentle rain downtown
|
The shadow pooling underneath me
|
As it follows on the ground
|
Kissed you when I saw you
|
Stared deep into your eyes
|
I meant to say I love you
|
But instead I said goodbye
|
|
For all my good intentions
|
There's a shadow in the dark
|
He comes to me infrequently
|
And breaks your perfect heart
|
I don't know why I do it
|
Apologized but it's too late
|
A single tear and you leave me here
|
And the shadow slips away
|
|
Shadows in the city
|
I'm a stranger to myself
|
On these streets I'm someone else
|
Shadows in the city
|
Like a demon in the dark
|
Come to tear us apart
|
