Verse 1

I was counting on you being there,

Hoping you would shield me from the glare.

Chorus

Shadow me -

I have lived in shadows all my life.

Verse 2

I've been waiting an eternity

For tonight to spread it's arms and comfort me.

Chorus

Shadow me -

I have lived in shadows all my life.

Bridge

Things we did together yesterday,

Feels more like twenty years ago,

Oh, baby, I never lied -

I told you my hands were tied

All the time. You said "That'll be fine."

Verse 3

Like the mariners from ages past,

I steer my way through trackless seas by the light of stars.

Chorus

Shadow me -

I have lived in shadows all my life.

Won't you be my shadow?
