Lyrics Jens Lysdal - Shadows

Have you heard the story about the girl
Who fell in love with her shadow
She was just a child
When it happened one night
Witnessing an unbearable scene

The shadow said I'll protect you from the truth
As long as you protect me from the sun
And if you stay with me here in the dark
I'll embrace every inch of your unhappy soul

She had all her dreams in sight
But she refused to step out in the light
She was loved by everyone
But was in love with a shadow

The shadow always admired at her love
She was over head and ears in debt to him
And everytime she tried to run away
He held the truth up to her weary eyes

Shadow land an imaginary place
But everything in there just looks so real
Hard to find a way out when you're there
Hard to be clear
Hard to be clear

But in the deep river of her heart
She knew that she could change her state of mind
If only she dare to see again
The reasons why she fell in love that night

And then one day she knew exactly what to do
She stood up tall and opened up her eyes
And then she said, "I do not need you any more
And I'm not even sure I ever did"

She had all her dreams in sight
And suddenly she stepped out in the light
Now she's loved by everyone
Even by her shadow

Shadow land an imaginary place
But everything there just looked so real
Hard to find a way out when you're there
Hard to be clear
Yeah yeah yeah
Hard to be clear
