Testo Shadowlands - David Knopfler
Testo della canzone Shadowlands (David Knopfler), tratta dall'album Wishbones
Does the shadow man possess you?
Is your dream still sweet and real?
Pain will always follow pleasure
That's how nature cuts her deal
Every moment precious
It was time alone we'd steal
First it's heaven, then it's hell
To allow all that we feel
I'm going down to these shadowlands
Yeah, shadowlands
Ah, what you can't cure
You must endure in these shadowlands
Climbing and disowning
You made your acquisitions
Trading love for the masquerade
Just to realise position
You put your mouth in someone else's pocket
So you'd still need someone to blame
You turn your victim over
But lay bare your face and name
You vanquish memories
In your power-lust for fame
Brother Banquo, he'll be calling
Yeah, it's Halloween again
I may be leaning on your shoulder
In your killing fields of shame
And I return from these shadowlands
Yeah, shadowlands
Ah, what we don't cure
Must be endured in these shadowlands
Yeah, yeah
Shadowlands
Shadowlands
Where'er the fates may hide us
From the dark seas of our dreams
I pray you yet may find us
If you share these final scenes
By God's grace may you be the one
Who'll hear this sad refrain
In the echoes of a love song
On the lakeshore glen
It's survival of the airwaves
Seeing the sun going down in flames
While framed against the doorway
A silhouette in chains
Hellbound for these shadowlands
Yeah, shadowlands
Ah, what we don't cure
Must be endured in these shadowlands
And if we won't learn, we sure will burn
In shadowlands
In shadowlands
In shadowlands
Going down to these shadowlands
