Shadows Lyrics by Zero 7

Shadows - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
A thousand eyes
And still no sight

The people I love
They won't let it show
As we dance on the edge

The people I love
They don't let it show
And we fall from the edge

[Chorus]
Now there's a sword above my head
There's a monster in my bed
Now for the longest time

But I've been waiting in my room
I've been whistling a tune
Now that I can't describe
And I don't know why

So if you really wanna know
I don't think I'm gonna go
And venture out

'Causе they keep on running through my head
Words I cannot find
And no, I can't deny
But I'm still far from thе edge

[Verse 2]
These shadows cloud my good side
They leave me no room for me

The people I love
(The people I love)
They won't let it show
(Won't let it show)
We dance on the edge

[Chorus]
Now there's a sword above my head
There's a monster in my bed
Now for the longest time

But I've been waiting in my room
I've been whistling a tune, now
That I can't describe
And I don't know why

So if you really want to know
I don't think I'm going to go
And venture out

'Cause they keep on running through my head
Words I cannot find
And no, I can't deny
But I'm still far from the edge
