[Verse]
Somewhere under the shadows
Where the cold wind bites
The river hums a secret
In the dead of night
A violin moans
Yeah it cuts like a knife
[Chorus]
Under the shadows
Where the lost souls go
Under the shadows
Where the dark streams flow
Ain't no rainbow
Just the weight you tow
[Verse 2]
The earth is cracked
And the roots don’t grow
The air is thick
But it don’t quite show
Footsteps echo
But you walk alone
[Prechorus]
Oh mercy
Oh mercy
Will the light ever find me
[Chorus]
Under the shadows
Where the lost souls go
Under the shadows
Where the dark streams flow
Ain't no rainbow
Just the weight you tow
[Bridge]
The violin cries
But the bow won’t rest
Slide guitar wails
Like it’s possessed
The blues in your chest
They ain’t second best
