(Verse 1)
Early this morning… someone at my door…
Low voice callin’, I ain’t scared no more…
Said, “I know you… yeah, it’s time to ride…”
Cold wind blowin’, feel it deep inside…
(Pause / space like original)
Told him, “Hold on… let me grab my soul…”
Feet feel heavy, but I lose control…
Steps get closer, I can’t run or hide…
Now me and my shadow walkin’ side by side…
(Verse 2)
Street lights flicker… as we pass on through…
People lookin’, but they got no clue…
Heart beat slowin’, feel it start to slide…
Every sin I did… walkin’ by my side…
Whispers creepin’, echo in my brain…
All the dirt I did callin’ out my name…
If I fall now, ain’t no place to hide…
Still me and my shadow walkin’ side by side…
(Verse 3)
If I drop dead, leave me where I lay…
By the roadside, let me fade away…
Tell my mama I ain’t win this fight…
I was lost walkin’ in the dark all night…
Even buried, I won’t rest inside…
Soul still wanderin’, nowhere left to hide…
Cold forever, no more tears to cry…
Just me and that shadow till the day I die…
