In a hidden shack up on a hill In shadowland A rose is fading at the window-sill In shadowland... Tossing and turning as she lies awake She longs for her freedom or a twist of Fate The door stands wide open but she can't escape From shadowland... from shadowland... You ask no questions and you tell no lies In shadowland... You hide the bruises and you dry your eyes In shadowland... The world he once promised this beauty queen Has crumbled to the ruins of a shattered dream Where love never lingers and the streets are mean In shadowland... in shadowland... Fallen angels have nowhere to hide Only their reasons for saying goodbye All you wanted to do was put on those dancing shoes and fly... Wonders how she'll ever break the spell In shadowland... And throw the shackles of her prison cell In shadowland... Tumbling down mountains in a waking sleep Grasping and drowning in an ocean deep Lost on the sidewalks of a nameless street In shadowland... in shadowland...
