John and Sheila Ludgate - Long Shadows

The shadows are long, and the shadows know What, happened, a long time ago
They walk with you, ‘neath the sun, the moon, the stars They always find you wherever you are
…shadows, long shadows

You see them in the mirror, in the far away eyes Like a stranger ‘cross the room that you recognize
You see them in your dreams, in the middle of the night
And you know that they’ll still be there, when you turn on the light
…shadows, long shadows

Chorus
Angry words, that can’t be unheard
A gift from the devil, that can’t be returned Into a mystery, out of the blue
All the knowledge of good and evil, you wish you never knew
…shadows, long shadows

Some wrong road, some wrong turn
Some lesson you wish, you never had to learn Something you lost, some secret you found
Someone whose hands once held you up that you let down
…shadows, long shadows

Repeat Chorus
…shadows
