Shadowland

It seems my life has been a chain of long goodbyes
Linked together by hidden lies
Forgotten friends and severed ties
But fate arrived with a surprise

She says to me she needs a place to land
Of course, I understand, I understand
Together maybe we can hold this emptiness at bay
Lord, I feel so good today

Just for once I feel like I might fly away
At night her shadow shines like day
All the timid truths I would pray
To have this lovely darkness stay

I find a hand inside my hand
When she tells me "I understand, I understand"
Now my skin has peeled away and though I'm raw I can still say
Lord, I feel so good today

Inside the night gives way to day
By the light her shadow turns to gray
No magic words can make her stay
She holds my hand - casts it away

After all, it slips away like sand
But I'm not sad, no, I understand, I understand
I was born alone and now I live and die
In Shadowland
