Waiting by a bridge That leads you to a stone That says your mother died Your mother died Kneeling by her cross The words they come to life You open up inside And start to cry Shadows that are falling Are merely angels calling Shadows in the evening Say something's got to give The way you live This cloud of darkness it must lift You can't be so sure Assertiviness never got you anywhere Not anywhere So i say to you Be honest and be loyal See what faith can do What faith can do Shadows that are falling Are merely angels calling Shadows in the evening Say something's got to give The way you live This cloud of darkness it must lift You are on your own You're father's never there He leaves you all alone You're on your own So you come to town You shelter behind stories Of your own design They're all in your mind When you saw me coming You always started running Stones hurled from afar They always reach their mark They never miss They always, always Leave a scar Down an august path The light is fading trees are shading You from view I can't see you When will you learn That noone is against you We're all on your side Your tide will return Shadows that are falling Are merely angels calling Shadows in the evening Say something's got to give The way you live This cloud of darkness it must lift
