Have you heard the story ‘bout the girl
Who fell in love with her shadow
She was just a child when it happened one night
Witnessing an unbearable scene
The shadow said «I'll protect you from the truth
As long as you protect me from the sun
And if you'll stay with me here in the dark
I'll embrace every inch of your unhappy soul»
She had all her dreams in sight
But she refused to step out in the light
She was loved by everyone
But was in love with her shadow
The shadow always reminded her that
She was over head and ears in debt to him
And everytime she tried to run away
He held the truth up to her weary eyes
Shadowland an imaginary place
But everything in there just looks so real
Hard to find a way out when you're there
Hard to be clear [x2]
But in the deep river of her heart
She knew that she could change her state of mind
If only she dared to see again
The reasons why she fell in love that night
And then one day she knew exactly what to do
She stod up tall and opened up her eyes
And then she said «I don't need you anymore
And I'm not even sure I ever did»
She had all her dreams in sight
And suddenly she stepped out in the light
Now she's loved by everyone
Even by her shadow
Shadowland an imaginary place
But everything in there just looks so real
Hard to find a way out when you're there
Hard to be clear [x2]
