Long Shadow Songtext
von John Illsley

You′re coming round again
Soldier of the road
Sailing close to the wind
Close to overload
You raised the bar
You raised the stakes
You took a chance
And made mistakes

Only game in town that's making sense
It was self defence

You leave a long shadow
Long and lean
Straight and narrow
A long shadow
Straight and narrow


Got your finger on the pulse
It′s the beating of your heart
Head above the water
Driven from the start
You leave a space
Too big to fill
Never caught off guard
You broke their will

Only game in town that's making sense
It's only self defence

You leave a long shadow
Long and lean
Straight and narrow
A long shadow
Straight and narrow

Caught on a camera
She was walking by your side
Tried to turn and walk away
But there′s no place you can hide
You burned some bridges
You charred some souls
The rain was hard
The streets were cold

Only game in town that′s making sense
It's only self defence


You leave a long shadow
Long and lean
Straight and narrow
A long shadow
Straight and narrow
