Shadow

The birds and the trees
They don't sing no more
These autumn leaves
They're lying dead on the floor
Just like mister love
We gon' let it fall
Oh yeah

Ain't nothing left
But a picture frame
You've forgotten my face
So don't speak my name
Don't water it down
It's going up in flames
Yeah

You got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows
'Cause the love that I seek
Ain't what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep
Want it as deep as the sea

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I always return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I had once known
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

I had the key to your heart
You changed the lock on the door
Won't even bother to knock
I know that nobody's home
You're not the person that I knew before
Oh

Like the bones of a love
Is buried deep in the ground
Like the wings of a dove
You can't be holding us down
Let it go, let it go, yeah
Forget all the vows, yeah

You got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows
'Cause the love that I seek
Ain't what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep
Want it as deep as the sea

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I always return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I had once known
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

Time is running
Let the water come in from the sea
Wasting time over someone
Who's not meant to be
Let it go, let it go, go and set yourself free
Free, free, yeah

You got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows
'Cause the love that I seek
Ain't what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep
Want it as deep as the sea

Oh, no

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I always return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I had once known
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

I just keep holding on to your shadow
