You're reaching out in the dead of night
Searching for my hand
You know I'm there in the waste of shadows
I'm your pain and friend

I hear your silent cries
I'm the shade in the shadow
I know your secret lies
I'm the shade in the shadow

I ban the light and I leave you blind
If you try your eyes
I am enemy or a trusty fellow
In your wailing mind

I hear your silent cries
I'm the shade in the shadow
I know your secret lies
I'm the shade in the shadow
I hide behind your shame
I'm the shade in the shadow
Crying out loud your name
I'm the shade in the shadow
The shade in the shadows of you

There I cry for you - in the shadows
As I always do - in the shadows
You may oust me there - in the shadows
But I'm always there - in the shadows
In the shadows

I hear your silent cries
I'm the shade in the shadow
I know your secret lies
I'm the shade in the shadow
I hide behind your shame
I'm the shade in the shadow
Crying out loud your name
I'm the shade in the shadow
The shade in the shadows of you

There I cry for you
In the shadows
I'm the shade in the shadow
As I always do
In the shadows
I'm the shade in the shadow
The shade in the shadow of you
