Shadowland
Peel back the layers from my skin, take off this straightjacket and help me to escape again
Switch off the TV I can’t stand it, the same old rhetoric again
There is no light on this horizon, there is no NorthStar overhead
And we all search for silver linings
as the deeds are done
and the words are said
I hate hate and I love love
but it don’t come from up above
It’s in the hearts and minds the ties that bind
but they can fall apart so hold on to mine
Cause we’re living in a shadowland tonight, living in a shadowland I can’t find the light
Yes we’re living in a shadowland tonight, you gotta hold on tight, hold on tight till the light
There’s a you shaped hole that’s buried deep within my heart,
there’s a you shaped whole every time that we part,
And on this lonely night this world don’t seem to turn
as we live and learn
and the forests burn
I hate hate and I love, love
but it don’t come from up above
it’s in the hearts and minds that ties that bind
but they can fall apart so hold onto mine
Cause we’re living in a shadowland tonight, living in a shadowland I can’t find the light
Living in a shadowland tonight,
you gotta hold on tight,
hold on tight till the light
I hate, hate, I love love but it don’t come from up above it don’t come from up above
Living in a shadowland tonight, living in a shadowland I can’t find the light
Living in a shadowland tonight you gotta hold on tight, hold on tight till the light
