Race in the shadows, walking away Drifting down below, slipping away Hide in the shadows, oh, I've tried to say Now it's time to go, race in the shadows, I'm a child again And I've been walking for a mile or two And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too It's been a long way It's been a long way It's been a long way Race in the shadows, I'm a child again See you at the door, every stormy day Giving me sorrow, gotta find a way Can't sleep anymore, ain't no time to waste Race in the shadows Race in the shadows, try again And I've been walking for a mile or two And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too It's been a long way It's been a long way It's been a long way Race in the shadows, I'm a child again And time will tear us apart See you in the shadow Turn on the light in my heart See you in the shadow And time will tear us apart See you in the shadow Turn on the light in your heart See you in the shadow And I've been walking for a mile or two And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too It's been a long way Race in the shadows, I'm a child again Oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
