A shadow in the Night Lyrics

I've been to the dusty plains of Texas, sunset and low

A wanted man on horseback, nowhere else to go

A shot rang through the canyon, echoing his name

Deputy U.S. Marshals were hot on his trail of fame

Across the Rio Grande, he chased him through the night

From the border towns to deserts, under a moon so bright

From train cars to freight boats, across the deep blue sea

He never wants a moment's rest, no chance to be free

He's on the run, across the land and sea

A shadow in the night that no one else can see

With a long man close behind, in a relentless race

He's on the run, no more hiding place

Through the bustling markets of old Mexico, the Marshals caught his scent

They were moving in slow, but the fugitive, with a sly and cunning grin

Slipped into the shadows, escaping once again

Beneath the Eiffel Tower, in the city of light

Decades of justice, chasing through the night

From cobblestone alleys to the railway track

The fugitive kept running, never looking back

He's on the run, across the land and sea

A shadow in the night that no one else can see

With a long man close behind, in a relentless race

And he's on the run, no more hiding place

Through the bustling markets of old Mexico, the Marshals caught his scent

They were moving in slow, but the fugitive, with a sly and cunning grin

Slipped into the shadows, escaping once again

Beneath the Eiffel Tower, in the city of light

Decades of justice, chasing through the night

From cobblestone alleys to the railway track

The fugitive kept running, never looking back

He's on the run, across the land and sea

A shadow in the night that no one else can see

With a long man close behind, in a relentless race

He's on the run, no more hiding place
