[Rettke]



As you were down again, you told me all those lies

and you know I've to pray

you're life is still a game, I waited for the price

and I know I've to pay



You've been a runaway, feeling as cold as ice

asked me if you could stay, I felt like been hypnotized

heaven will know, know the reason why

you never showed that sorrow in your eyes



You told me those lies that you'd make a turn

but I could see in your eyes that you never would learn



[CHORUS:]

IN THE SHADOW, shadow of your life

IN THE SHADOW, you could not deny

when you're drunk you were lost, and you're having no way

something is even to say

IN THE SHADOW

of your life



Now that you've gone away I look at the morning sun

all night long I move and stray thinking of things we've done

heaven will know, know the reason why

you had to go on broken wings up the sky
