On your shoulders is the weight you bear
On the roadside you are waiting there
Cash in your insurance claims
the one night stands and sad refrains
of all the stories you have blamed making trouble
We won't be there when the shadow falls
We won't be there when the shadow falls
In the shallow where you thought you'd run
When you see there you're the only one
Cast off your withholding chains
Your one-time plans and sad remains
of all the things you left behind
taking all your time
We won't be there when the shadow falls
We won't be there when the shadow falls
No we won't be there
We won't be there when the shadow falls
Before the blinding light of day
Before the morning light you slip away
You can hold yourself to promises so far betrayed
You could take yourself to somewhere so far away
We won't be there when the shadow falls
We won't be there when the shadow falls
