I was counting on you being there, Hoping you would shield me from the glare. Shadow me - I have lived in shadows all my life. I've been waiting an eternity For tonight to spread it's arms and comfort me. Shadow me - I have lived in shadows all my life. Things we did together yesterday, Feels more like twenty years ago, Oh, baby, I never lied - I told you my hands were tied All the time. You said "That'll be fine." Like the mariners from ages past, I steer my way through trackless seas By the light of stars. Won't you be my shadow?
