Shadow Land

Everytime the tide comes in the tide goes out

Some folks fail some do alright

You could take a Johnboat all the way to town

Had an angry broken father in a house beside the water

Shadowland what secret are you keeping

Are you only sleepin to wake another day

Shadowland oh how could I have loved you

I never really knew you anyway

Funny how the stars down there shine so bright

Breeze comes in just like a prayer

Mama asked Jesus to keep daddy home at night

I guess it was a pity but Jesus never did it

Shadowland what secret are you keeping

Are you only sleepin to wake another day

Shadowland oh how could I have loved you

I never really knew you anyway

Storms blew up from Mexico

The boats would all come in

Nights like that you could smell

Salt water on the wind

I was so young back then

Brother was a gifted child so they said

We could build a starship in the yard

Angry voices came from the house at night

So we'd play a game he made up

And stayed out a little later

Shadowland what secret are you keeping

Are you only sleepin to wake another day

Shadowland oh how could I have loved you

I never really knew you anyway
