Tift Merritt - Shadow in the Way lyrics

Before a word is spoken, Everything is broken, Even what you hid inside. The world has let you down, wrung shame of your pride. Even as you falter, Like sunlight on the water, You shine on my face. The darkness in your heart, it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, just a shadow in the way, Oh, it's just a shadow in the way. When the fire leaves you, When no one believes you, When you give yourself away To a stranger on the road, gives you nothing in exchange. Even when the door shuts, Even though the night cuts Like a silver blade, In the morning you will find it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, just a shadow in the way, Oh, it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, just a shadow in the way, Oh, it's just a shadow in the way. Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid. Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid. This world of sorrow, It's just a shadow. This world of sorrow, It's just a shadow. It's just a shadow. Got to get up again, And let the light in, Throw your tears away. That mountain looks so high, it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, it's a shadow in the way, Oh, it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, it's a shadow in the way, Oh, it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, it's just a shadow in the way, Oh, it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, it's just a shadow in the way, Oh, it's just a shadow, It's just a shadow, It's just a shadow, Oh it's just a shadow in the way. Oh, it's just a shadow in the way, It's just a shadow, It's just a shadow in the way. It's just a shadow in the way.
