in the shadow of a dream

Singer:james morrison

if it wasn't for the darkness

i'd be a stranger to the dreaming

takes a heart to feel so helpless

to find something to believe in

what can we hold on to?

if we can't hold on to each other

after all that they've put us through

it'd be a shame to let the dream slide from view

don't tell me i'm crazy

cause madness has saved me

from being held down for so long

so tell me my minds gone

and we're not all made from the same flesh and bones

say i'm wrong

in the shadow of a dream babe

our love can grow

when you are down on your knees babe

there's only one way to go

in the shadow of a dream babe

we'll find tomorrow

or we'll fight till the day is done

well who are we without forgiveness

what's a saint without a sinner

don't be scared to show your weakness

brings us all closer together

what can we hold on to?

if we can't hold on to each other

well there is nothing that we can't do

with a fire in our hearts

we can fly to the moon

don't tell me i'm crazy

cause madness has saved me

from being held down for so long

so tell me my minds gone

and we're not all made from the same flesh and bones

say i'm wrong

in the shadow of a dream babe

our love can grow

when you are down on your knees babe

there's only one way to go

in the shadow of a dream babe

we'll find tomorrow

or we'll fight till the day is done

shadow of a dream babe

yeah

in the shadow of a dream babe

our love can grow

when you are down on your knees babe

there's only one way to go

in the shadow of a dream babe

we'll find tomorrow

or we'll fight till the day is done

if it wasn't for forgiveness

would i know the comfort of your shoulder?

if i'd never known your kindness

the world would feel so much colder
