Lyrics




Shadow let go
There's something you should know
I just found my new direction
And I hope you like the key
Like the air that led me to it
She's like the wind that sucked me through it
She's a river, and she's turning
There in front of me
Stand back, get back
She'll paint your blue skies black
She gives bullet proof protection
She got a resurrection feel
When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose
She gives me travelling shoes
She's a river and she's turning
There in front of me
And I go blind
Wasting my time
While the rivers in front of me
That's where I'm going to be
Shine on, get on
Twilight from dusk to dawn
She's the spirit of creation
She's the last chance guarantee
Got a myriad of poses
Sweet miracles and roses
She's a river and she's turning
There in front of me
And I go blind
Wasting my time
The river's in front of me
That's where I'm going to be
Shadow
Oh
'Cause when I find
My state of mind
The river's in front of me
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
So take me on a freedom ride
My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon
My nerves just feel electrified
Meet me on the staircase
Outside a darkened room
Light me like a naked flame
The voice of Mother Nature states
All things must pass
And nothing can remain
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
Take me on that freedom ride
You raise me like a building to the very top
Rush me to the end of time
You fill me full of danger, give me future shock
Then you leave me wasted dying
(Stand back, get back)
Stand back, get back
Move on (she's a river) she's a river
She's a river
And I go blind
Wasting my time
The river's in front of me
Stand back (stand back)
Get back (get back)
She's a river, she's a river (she's a river)
She's a river (she's a river)
Shine on, get on
Twilight from dusk to dawn
She's the spirit of creation
She's the last chance guarantee
Stand back, get back
She's a river (she's a river, she's a river)
The river's in front of me
(Stand back)
(The river in front of me) get back
That's where I'm going to be
(The river in front of me)
The river in front of me
