Don Williams - Shadow Land Lyrics
(Bob McDill)Everytime the tide comes in the tide goes outSome folks fail some do alrightYou could take a Johnboat all the way to townHad an angry broken father, in a house beside the water.Chorus:Shadowland, what secret are you keepingAre you only sleepin to wake another dayShadowland, Oh, how could I have loved youI never really knew you, anyway.Funny how the stars down there shine so brightBreeze comes in just like a prayerMama asked Jesus to keep daddy home at nightI guess it was a pity, but Jesus never did it.Chorus:Shadowland, what secret are you keepingAre you only sleepin to wake another dayShadowland, Oh, how could I have loved youI never really knew you, anyway.Storms blew up from Mexico,The boats would all come inNights like that you could smellSalt water on the windI was so young back then.Brother was a gifted child so they saidWe could build a starship in the yardAngry voices came from the house at nightSo wed play a game he made upAnd stayed out a little later.Chorus:Shadowland, what secret are you keepingAre you only sleepin to wake another dayShadowland, Oh, how could I have loved youI never really knew you, anyway...
