Proclaimers Shadows Fall
Shadows fall on our lives
So quickly, my friend
We feel warmth and see light
Then darkness descends
Shadows fall without warning
And we stumble around
Shadows fall without pity
And there's no peace to be found
Shadows fall on our lives
So slowly, my friend
We see them coming for miles
But our happiness we don't defend
Shadows fall where we let them
As neglect turns to regret
Shadows fall, do you never get them?
Ah, you haven't lived long enough yet.
Shadows fall on our loved ones
When we are not to blame
And we can't see any reason
Why they're carrying all that pain
Shadows fall right on them
While there's light to their left and to their right
So we try to help them step over
But all they see is darkest night
Shadows fall without warning
And we stumble around
Shadows fall without pity
And there's no peace to be found
