Every story has a beginning From our birth star to the very end And the wheel keeps on spinning The tattered cloth of love you wear These are the Shadowlands And nobody understands How to love you Every second makes an hour Wrap them tight and keep them warm For every seed holds a flower Waiting for the rain to fall These are the Shadowlands And I'm just a shadow man Trying to love you Oh let me love you Can't you see I'm coming one step at a time Oh I'm reaching out into the light Let me love you Every story has a beginning From our birth star until the very end
