Shadowland - Ritchie

In a hidden shack up on a hill

In shadowland

A rose is fading at the window-sill

In shadowland…

Tossing and turning as she lies awake

She longs for her freedom or a twist of Fate

The door stands wide open but she can’t escape

From shadowland… from shadowland…

You ask no questions and you tell no lies

In shadowland…

You hide the bruises and you dry your eyes

In shadowland…

The world he once promised this beauty queen

Has crumbled to the ruins of a shattered dream

Where love never lingers and the streets are mean

In shadowland… in shadowland…

Fallen angels have nowhere to hide

Only their reasons for saying goodbye

All you wanted to do was put on those dancing shoes and fly…

Wonders how she’ll ever break the spell

In shadowland…

And throw the shackles of her prison cell

In shadowland…

Tumbling down mountains in a waking sleep

Grasping and drowning in an ocean deep

Lost on the sidewalks of a nameless street

In shadowland… in shadowland…
