Down by the Shadow - Peer Günt

I’m alone at the crossroads

With shadows around me

I’ve come such a long way

But I’m nowhere bound

He was so near me

But I didn’t see

That he tried to reach me

And that he needed me

I saw your face

I knew your name

And down by the shadows

I lost you in the rain

All those mean words

I never meant to say

All those good times

I let slip away

I wept your tears

They’re whipping my my soul

But I tried to look like

Like I didn’t know

I saw your face

I knew your name

And down by the shadows

I lost you in the rain

Alone at the crossroads

With shadows around me

I’ve come such a long way

But I’m nowhere bound

He was so near me

But I didn’t, but I didn’t see

That he tried to reach me

And that you needed me

I saw your face

I knew your name

And down by the shadows

I lost you in the rain

I lost you in the rain
