Long Shadow Lyrics

John Illsley Long Shadow

Coming round again soldier of the road
Close to the wind close to overload
Raised the bar you raised the stakes
You took a chance you made mistakes
To me you always made some sense
It was self-defense

You have a long shadow
Straight and narrow

Finger on the pulse its the beating of your heart
Head above the water driven from the start
You'll have a space to big to fill
They were caught off guard broke their will
Only game in town that's making sense
It was self-defense
You leave a long shadow
Straight and narrow

Get caught on camera she was walking by your side
Tried to turn and walk away, but there's no place you can hide
You burned some bridges charred some souls
The rain was hard, the streets were cold
Only game in town that's making sense
It was self-defense

Long shadow
Straight and narrow
