In a lonely shadow, he finds the key 

Demanding light to set him free 

He knows that things aren't what they always seem to mean 

See it all in a different light 

You know everything you heard is true 

And I'll ride off with your soul tonight 

If that's alright with you 



I've got half a mind to make it whole 

Make it whole again 

And the shadow that I'm chasing is my only friend 

And I'm sinking in the quicksand 

Cause I never found a place to stand 

And Lord knows, finally I'm a man 



Everybody's got souls to blame 

But the shadows keep it in ache 

My eyes have seen the glory 

But it's lost with every step you take 

Finally you'll know what's wrong 

When the gift that keeps on giving's gone 

But in between these mountains and you 

His soul's still trying to shine again 



I've got half a mind to make it whole 

Make it whole again 

And the shadow that I'm chasing is my only friend 

We're sinking in the quicksand 

Cause I never found a place to stand 

And, oh, finally I'm a man
