John Waite - In God's Shadow lyrics

rate me

We speak out like children

Of the dreams that we chase and pursue

These rights we hold precious

Say it loud enough

And it'll be true

In the company of strangers

Wild conversation

And the hours go by so fast

And you find a lot of wisdom there

At the bottom of the glass

But when the lights go down

And the laughter fades away

Somewhere beneath the moon and stars

All of life certainties they

They all just slip away

And you lie down in God's shadow

At the end

The end of the day

We speak revolution

But the future's already been sold

The masters of diffusion

Spinning their fine webs into gold

And the party's just begun

This matter of resistance

Our ship was built to last

We箁e sailing out on troubled seas

Nail your colors to the mast

But when the lights go down

And the laughter fades away

Somewhere beneath the moon and stars

All of life certainties they

They all just slip away

And you lie down in God's shadow

At the end

The end of the day

The avenue is so crowded

And they箁e turning up the heat

And the red lights keep on flashing

Out there tonight on Bourbon Street

On Bourbon Street

Wild conversation

And the hours go by so fast

And you find a lot of wisdom there

At the bottom of the glass

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

But when the lights go down

And the laughter fades away

Somewhere beneath the moon and stars

All of life certainties they

They all just slip away

And you lie down in God's shadow

At the end

The end of the day

The end of the day

The end of the day

The end of the day

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Lay down your soul with me

Lay down your soul tonight

Lay down your soul with me

And everything will be alright

It'll be alright
