Shadows Lyrics

I fall, in the cutting room
Straight to the fall, before the film is through
Today in my head, that field of reason why
Come a little closer, honey
And touch the fire
How long do I have here with you?
The flowers that once were a new
Shadows

Heaven waits, in the darkness of a room
And the shaking at the gates,
From here to Timbuktu
Cold front rolls in, like a black balloon
And it sinks into your soul
And you tell it what you knew

How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were anew
Are shadows

The mystery of the stars
That fell from your eyes
Watch it as it burns
Like I'm sitting on fire
That mountain is tall
And you know you'll have to climb
Put your arms around me
And let's go for a ride

How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
How long?
Before the shadows

Shadows Song Chart

This ballad finds Adams pondering a fading relationship. The tune also hints at his experiences dealing with Ménière's disease - an inner-ear disorder that causes attacks of vertigo and almost forced Adams into retirement. "That song has two guitars diving into each other like B-1 bombers," he told Q magazine, "musically, it's like me describing what it's like to have a Ménière's attack."
