On your shoulders is the weight you bear On the roadside you are waiting there Cash in your insurance claims The one night stands and sad refrains Of all the stories you have blamed making trouble We won't be there when the shadow falls We won't be there when the shadow falls In the shallow where you thought you'd run When you see there you're the only one Cast off your withholding chains Your one-time plans and sad remains Of all the things you left behind Taking all your time We won't be there when the shadow falls We won't be there when the shadow falls No we won't be there We won't be there when the shadow falls Before the blinding light of day Before the morning light you slip away You can hold yourself to promises so far betrayed You could take yourself to somewhere so far away We won't be there when the shadow falls We won't be there when the shadow falls
