Shadow of Nashville Lyrics

There's a colour that the sunset brings

A girl down at the Bluebird sings

Things that make me think of you

We got cowboys dressed in Prada

You and me we were working harder

To make a simple dollar, to get through

You always wore those boots of cherry red

Up there dancing for the suits and for the dead

We'll make it through that's what you said

So much I knew, so much unsaid

Walking through the valley

Of the shadow of Nashville

Just like angels of the night we got our

Hands in our pockets boys

Feathers in our bonnets

We're the searchers, just looking for the light

Walking through the valley

Of the shadow of Nashville

You and I

Days and lovers come and go

Just like melted footprints in the snow

Ran out of places you could hide

There's streets out to the east of here where

Fifty dollars kills the fear

Part of you just up and died

All of the songs that you would cry to

All the men that you would lie to

Always the ones that you would fly to

They'd show you how but never why

Walking through the valley

Of the shadow of Nashville

Just like angels of the night we got our

Hands in our pockets boys

Feathers in our bonnets

We're the searchers, just looking for the light

Walking through the valley

Of the shadow of Nashville

You and I

They got icons they got bygones, old men still talk of Saigon

In the bars and in the diners on the strip

I hear every word you're saying

When they're not drunk they're busy praying

You finally found a place where you could fit

You with your heart so full of certainty

Me with only doubt to set me free

There's a bar not far from here

Where they serve whiskey distilled from tears

Walking through the valley

Of the shadow of Nashville

Just like angels of the night we got our

Hands in our pockets boys

Feathers in our bonnets

We're the searchers, just looking for the light

Walking through the valley

Of the shadow of Nashville

You and I
