Verse 1
By day you follow at my feet,
A patch of black across the street.
But when the final windows fade,
You rise in white from empty shade.
Last night you stopped outside my door;
I turned to take a few steps more.
Then shattered glass came raining down
And caught your light upon the ground.
Pre-Chorus
You never speak, you make no sound,
But where you stop, my feet stay bound.
I watch the space where you should be
And wonder what you see.
Chorus
My shadow shines at night,
Burning white on broken stone.
You step into the dark ahead
Where I would walk alone.
When the road gives way beneath me,
You're the line I will not cross.
My shadow shines at night,
And I live to see the dawn.
Verse 2
You stretched across the railway track,
A silver shape that held me back.
No passing headlights, no full moon,
No reason you should shine so soon.
I stopped and felt the iron shake;
The midnight train came through the rain.
When I could breathe, you moved again,
And walked beside me all the way.
Pre-Chorus
I used to dread your silent glow;
Now when you fade, I walk more slow.
Whatever waits beyond my sight,
You find it in the night.
Chorus
My shadow shines at night,
Burning white on broken stone.
You step into the dark ahead
Where I would walk alone.
When the road gives way beneath me,
You're the line I will not cross.
My shadow shines at night,
And I live to see the dawn.
Bridge
Did I once know your face?
Did I once hold your hand?
Were you someone I couldn't save?
Is that why you came back?
I reach for you through winter air;
Your light falls through my skin.
I leave some room beside me now
And let the silence in.
Instrumental Break
Final Chorus
My shadow shines at night,
Burning white on broken stone.
You step into the dark ahead
Where I would walk alone.
When you stop, I'll wait beside you.
When you move, I'll carry on.
My shadow shines at night,
And I live to see the dawn.
Outro
By day you follow at my feet.
At night you lead me home.
