Out Of The Shadows

  • Crouching down inside a deep ravine
    Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen
    So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans
    Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands
    Close call there in the shadows
    There's a fear in the dark
    There's one out there

    All those memories, pain and anger, flood back one by one
    They must be just around the bend, they always come
    At night as I lay sleeping they come to me in herds
    Their lies remain, the dreams the same, it's only fleeting words
    No one calls there in the shadows
    There's no end to the dark
    But there's one out there, no one but me

    The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me
    No way's the right way.
    Is there a way out for me?
    My life's slipping out

    Rising up, the night is done, and now the bright lights come
    Held back in my pitied world where everything's undone
    A cold wind blows right through me, I'm made a hollow shell
    There's nothing left, just ash remains, enrich the soil, no soil, no soil

    Close call there in the shadows
    There's an end to the dark
    'Cause there's someone out there
    Someone like me

    The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me
    No way's the right way, is there a way out for me
    The hours pass so slowly
    The life's slipping out of me
    Is there a way out for me?
    The hours pass so slowly
    The life's slipping out of me
    Is there a way out for me?
    There must be a way out for me Writer/s: SARAH MCLACHLAN
