Shadows Fall

Shadows fall on our lives So quickly, my friend We feel warmth and see light Then darkness descends Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found Shadows fall on our lives So slowly, my friend We see them coming for miles But our happiness we don't defend Shadows fall where we let them As neglect turns to regret Shadows fall, do you never get them? Ah, you haven't lived long enough yet. Shadows fall on our loved ones When we are not to blame And we can't see any reason Why they're carrying all that pain Shadows fall right on them While there's light to their left and to their right So we try to help them step over But all they see is darkest night Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found --- Shadows Fall - The Proclaimers
