(Verse 1)

I see you from deep within the shadows
You can’t see me watching far away
Far from the meadow, meadow full of bones
Bones of what once was to be man’s thrones
Meadow full of many selfish dreams
Meadow once full of children’s joyful screams
Watch as this old meadow turns to dust
I watch you as you begin to watch

(Chorus 1)
Somewhere in the shadows
Where am I hiding
The longer you look
The more that I will hide
Can you see my eyes?
Can you see me smiling?
As your lantern dims in night, just let it fall down
As your lantern dims in night, just let it fall down

(Verse 2)
You sit there waiting, waiting for nothing
Lost expectations of something that won’t come
You think you are alone
But you aren’t, I’m here
Watch as your dreams are blown
And no one comes
As a child, shunned for feeling
Feeling emotions that no longer exist

(Chorus 1)
Somewhere in the shadows
Where am I hiding
The longer you look
The more that I will hide
Can you see my eyes?
Can you see my smiling?
As your lantern dims in night, just let it fall down
As your lantern dims in night, just let it fall down

(Bridge)
Falling, raining
Dripping, drowning
Watch it all go away
You won’t hear my calling out for a fair play
Falling, raining
Dripping, drowning
The sound of your dreams falling
As you wait for help when no one cares about your problems
Falling, raining, you're crying
Blissful wailing as a child

(Chorus 2)
Somewhere in the meadow
No longer hiding
The longer you wait
I will not leave you child
Can you follow me?
Back into the shadows
I won’t mislead you like them, just take my hand now
I won’t mislead you like them, just take my hand now
