Race in the shadows, walking away
Drifting down below, slipping away
Hide in the shadows, oh, I've tried to say
Now it's time to go, race in the shadows, I'm a child again

And I've been walking for a mile or two
And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too
It's been a long way, it's been a long way, it's been a long way
Race in the shadows, I'm a child again

See you at the door, every stormy day
Giving me sorrow, gotta find a way
I can't sleep anymore, ain't no time to waste
Race in the shadows, race in the shadows, try again

And I've been walking for a mile or two
And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too
It's been a long way, it's been a long way, it's been a long way
Race in the shadows, I'm a child again

And time will tear us apart
See you in the shadow
Turn on the light in my heart
See you in the shadow

And time will tear us apart
See you in the shadow
Turn on the light in your heart
See you in the shadow

And I've been walking for a mile or two
And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too
It's been a long way, it's been a long way, it's been a long way
Race in the shadows, I'm a child again
