[Rettke]
As you were down again, you told me all those lies
and you know I've to pray
you're life is still a game, I
waited for the price
and I know I've to pay
You've been a runaway, feeling as cold as ice
asked me if you could stay, I felt
like been hypnotized
heaven will know, know the reason why
you never showed that sorrow in your eyes
You told me those lies
that you'd make a turn
but I could see in your eyes that you never would learn
[CHORUS:]
IN THE SHADOW, shadow of your
life
IN THE SHADOW, you could not deny
when you're drunk you were lost, and you're having no way
something is even to say
IN
THE SHADOW
of your life
Now that you've gone away I look at the morning sun
all night long I move and stray thinking of
things we've done
heaven will know, know the reason why
you had to go on broken wings up the sky
