Every time the tide comes in, the tide goes out
Some folks fail, but some do all right
You could take a john boat all the way to town
Had an angry broken father in a house beside the water
Shadowland, what secret are you keeping?
Are you only sleeping?
To wake another day
Shadowland, oh, how could I have loved you?
I never really knew you anyway
Funny how the stars down there
Shadowland, oh, how could I have loved you?
Funny how the stars down there
Shine so bright
Breeze comes in just like a prayer
Mama asked Jesus to keep daddy home at night
I guess it was a pity
But Jesus never did it
Shadowland
What secrets are you keeping?
Are you only sleeping?
To wake another day
Shadowland, oh, how could I have loved you?
I never really knew you anyway
Storms blew up from Mexico
The boats would all come in
Nights like the day before the sun set




That you could smell
Salt water on the wind
I was so young back then
Brother was a gifted child
So they said
We could build a starship
In the yard
Angry voices came
From the house at night
So we'd play a game
He made of
And stay out a little later
Shadowland
What secret are you keeping
Are you only sleeping
To wake another day
Shadowland
Oh how could I have loved you
I never really knew you
Shadowland
Anyway
you
