Текст песни Kt Tunstall - Dear Shadow

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
The first day that we met
I saw you out of the corner of my eye, I was five
You're still the thumb that I'm under
You're still the thumb that I'm under

[Verse 2]
Oh, I hid you away, pushing you down
You left me caught between a light and a dark place
I'm going to ground (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
When out looking for love, three is a crowd
We'd always lose our way between the black
('Ween the black) and the grey (And the grey)

[Chorus]
I've been lonely, keeping you back there behind me
Got this swollen feeling we could make amends
But you're holding me back, yeah, you'rе holding me back
I just want to run, dear shadow
Walking evеry shade of who I am
Maybe we could start again?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo
Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo

[Verse 3]
On the wall, I was ten
You were more than a feeling
By my side, unwanted
The sun would see you come creeping
Made of fear, I was strong
There's no shame to have you here where you belong

[Chorus]
I've been lonely, keeping you back there behind me
Got this swollen feeling we could make amends
But you're holding me back, yeah, you're holding me back
I just want to run, dear shadow
Walking every shade of who I am
Maybe we could start again?

[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la (Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo)
La-la-la-la-la (Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo)

[Chorus]
I've been lonely, keeping you back there behind me
Got this swollen feeling we could make amends
I see it's only me needing you back there behind me
In my soul, I feel like maybe we'll be friends
But you're holding me back, yeah, you're holding me back
And I just want to run, dear shadow
Walking every shade of who I am
Maybe we could start again?
