Lyrics

Shadow let go There's something you should know I just found my new direction And I hope you like the key Like the air that led me to it She's like the wind that sucked me through it She's a river, and she's turning There in front of me Stand back, get back She'll paint your blue skies black She gives bullet proof protection She got a resurrection feel When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose She gives me travelling shoes She's a river and she's turning There in front of me And I go blind Wasting my time While the rivers in front of me That's where I'm going to be Shine on, get on Twilight from dusk to dawn She's the spirit of creation She's the last chance guarantee Got a myriad of poses Sweet miracles and roses She's a river and she's turning There in front of me And I go blind Wasting my time The river's in front of me That's where I'm going to be Shadow Oh 'Cause when I find My state of mind The river's in front of me They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms So take me on a freedom ride My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon My nerves just feel electrified Meet me on the staircase Outside a darkened room Light me like a naked flame The voice of Mother Nature states All things must pass And nothing can remain They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms Take me on that freedom ride You raise me like a building to the very top Rush me to the end of time You fill me full of danger, give me future shock Then you leave me wasted dying (Stand back, get back) Stand back, get back Move on (she's a river) she's a river She's a river And I go blind Wasting my time The river's in front of me Stand back (stand back) Get back (get back) She's a river, she's a river (she's a river) She's a river (she's a river) Shine on, get on Twilight from dusk to dawn She's the spirit of creation She's the last chance guarantee Stand back, get back She's a river (she's a river, she's a river) The river's in front of me (Stand back) (The river in front of me) get back That's where I'm going to be (The river in front of me) The river in front of me
