Don Williams - Shadow Land lyrics

Everytime the tide comes in the tide goes out Some folks fail some do alright You could take a Johnboat all the way to town Had an angry broken father, in a house beside the water. [Chorus:] Shadowland, what secret are you keeping Are you only sleepin to wake another day Shadowland, Oh, how could I have loved you I never really knew you, anyway. Funny how the stars down there shine so bright Breeze comes in just like a prayer Mama asked Jesus to keep daddy home at night I guess it was a pity, but Jesus never did it. [Chorus:] Shadowland, what secret are you keeping Are you only sleepin to wake another day Shadowland, Oh, how could I have loved you I never really knew you, anyway. Storms blew up from Mexico, The boats would all come in Nights like that you could smell Salt water on the wind I was so young back then. Brother was a gifted child so they said We could build a starship in the yard Angry voices came from the house at night So we'd play a game he made up And stayed out a little later. [Chorus:] Shadowland, what secret are you keeping Are you only sleepin to wake another day Shadowland, Oh, how could I have loved you I never really knew you, anyway...
