Race in the shadows, walking away
Drifting down below, slipping away
Hide in the shadows, oh I've tried to say
Now it's time to go, race in the shadows
I'm a child again

[chorus]
And I've been walking for a mile or two
And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too
It's been a long way
Race in the shadows
I'm a child again

[verse 2]
See you at the door, every stormy day
Giving me sorrow
Gotta find a way
Can't sleep anymore, ain't no time to waste
Race in the shadows, try again

[chorus]
And I've been walking for a mile or two
And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too
It's been a long way
Race in the shadows
I'm a child again

[bridge]
And time will tear us apart
See you in the shadow
Turn on the light in my heart
See you in the shadow

And time will tear us apart
See you in the shadow
Turn on the light in your heart
See you in the shadow

[chorus]
And I've been walking for a mile or two
And I've been sailing, I've been drowning too
It's been a long way
Race in the shadows
I'm a child again
