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?
