Living in the Shadows

Crown Of Thorns

Compositor: Jean Beauvoir / Tommy Lafferty

Hold me cause the time is moving fast
And I'm missing all the things I left behind me
Well I've only tasted bitter sweet after all
I've had time to play
Haven't found my way

Well they once told me it's better suicide
Then dying slowly
From all that you've let go by

Ooh baby
Should have done it from my heart
Ooh darlin'
Should have done it from the start

CHORUS:
Now I'm living in the shadows
It's a lonely place (Living in the shadows of life)
Yeah I'm living in the shadows
If I could only wake
And live that life again

Thrown me in a cage that's plagued with war
But I only had myself to fight beside me
And indeed I've wasted countless hours, reminiscing
What I should have dealt with differently and now I see

In my head it's going round
That I missed the wrong from right
And with each song I'm playing
I hear the sacrifice

And when my heart is beatin'
From those emotions freakin'
I wasn't born to slave
I opt to turn the page
Ooh baby
Should have done it from my heart (and let the fortune find me)
Ooh darlin'
Should have done it from the start (and turn it around, around)
