(M.SchenkerR. McAuley)

Shadows fallin' on my face

Every night she takes her place

Oh! How I wonder

The spell she puts me under

Only neonlight, 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 [2x]

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 [2x]

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 [2x]

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
