Shadows on the River

[Verse] Shadows dance on the river tonight Moonlight's heavy but it don't feel right The wind hums low like it knows my name I called for mercy but it never came [Chorus] Oh shadows shadows on the river wide I can't outrun what I feel inside Shadows shadows creeping slow Where the river bends is where I go [Verse 2] The trees whisper secrets they won’t let me hear Their roots dig deep but I’m stuck right here The stars are bold but they burn too far I trace their light like a faded scar [Prechorus] Do you hear the river sigh Do you feel the dark reply [Chorus] Oh shadows shadows on the river wide I can't outrun what I feel inside Shadows shadows creeping slow Where the river bends is where I go [Bridge] I threw my past in the water’s hands Watched it sink where the truth demands The current’s cold but it sets me free Shadows don’t drown they just wait for me
