Shadow Of The Night

(album: Save Yourself - 1989)

Shadows falling on my face
Every night she takes her place
Oh! how I wonder
The spell she puts me under
Only neon light, takes the place of daylight
How broken hearted, when day and night are parted
She's not responsible
Can't fight against his will
Under his influence no hope far innocence

We all run and hide from the shadow of the night
We all run and hide from the shadow of the night
With hopeless hands I pray
For the safety of the day
And if our world should depart
Go with comfort in your heart
Shadow shadow of the night
Shadow of the night

Under the cloud of darkness
Where only money matters
The knives are out tonight
White powder glistens but who's gonna ask for more
When someone falls and hits the floor?
I feel the yearning of the early morning

We all run and hide from the shadow of the night
We all run and hide from the shadow of the night
With hopeless hands I pray
For the safety of the day
And if our world should depart
Go with comfort in your heart
Shadow shadow of the night
Shadow of the night

As I wake to meet the dawn
Communication has begun
Oh, how I wonder, and is it any wonder
When the neon light
Takes the place of daylight
Too late for miracles
Just hope for common sense

We all run and hide from the shadow of the night
We all run and hide from the shadow of the night
With hopeless hands I pray
For the safety of the day
And if our world should depart
Go with comfort in your heart
Shadow shadow of the night
Shadow of the night
