Shadows of My Past Lyrics

By the banks of the muddy shore

The water rolls and the river roars

I hear that lonesome cry once more

Comin' from the shadows of my past

We meet again from time to time

A little further down the line

I find the one I left behind

Deep in the shadows of my past

What came before, what lies ahead

Keeps me tossin' in my bed

I can't forget the things I said

Whispers in the shadows of my past

The rain will come the rain will go

The river's high on down below

Try to escape but it won't last

I can't outrun the shadows of my past

Little footprints on the ground

My guilty heart began to pound

She jumped in without a sound

Swept into the shadows of my past

The rain will come the rain will go

The river's high on down below

Try to escape but it won't last

I can't outrun the shadows (can't outrun the shadows) of my past
