Only a Shadow Songtext
von Margaret Urlich

We teach the young
We show them right when all is wrong
It′s a better way and how it's meant to be
You know it′s true
'Cause I've been told we′re all the same
In a promised land of opportunity

So don′t you lie
Don't you tell me I′m a fool
These are better times for everyone but you

And the world that we're living in could be wearing thin
(It′s only a shadow)
Hope that we used to share ain't no longer there
(It′s only a shadow)
Time that we want to give got no place to live
Where did the love go?
It's only a shadow
Only a shadow


Well there's a light
That′s always shining in the dark
If you need to find your way come go with me
′Cause I've been there
Where people slowly fall apart
It′s a lonely place for those who cannot see

So don't you lie
Because I′ve heard it all before
We got a wonderland, don't ever ask for more

And the world that we′re living in could be wearing thin
(It's only a shadow)
Hope that we used to share ain't no longer there
(It′s only a shadow)
Time that we want to give got no place to live
Where did the love go?
It′s only a shadow

And the tears that you cry never gonna run dry
It's a shame, put the blame on me
I′m the night and the light that would never say die
Burning to set you free
And the words that we say are always fading away
Are we talking as they fall?
If you can understand that we're living today
With a shadow
With a shadow on us all


And the world that we′re living in could be wearing thin
(It's only a shadow)
Hope that we used to share ain′t no longer there
(It's only a shadow)
Time that we want to give got no place to live
Where does the love go?

And the world that we're living in could be wearing thin
(It′s only a shadow)
Hope that we used to share ain′t no longer there
(It's only a shadow)

Time that we want to give got no place to live

Where does the love go?
And the world that we′re living in could be wearing thin
(It's only a shadow)
Hope that we used to share ain′t no longer there
(It's only a shadow)
Time that we want to give got no place to live
Where did the love go?

It′s only a shadow
It's only a shadow
Only a shadow
It's only a shadow
It′s only a shadow
