(Bob McDill)      Everytime the tide comes in the tide goes out   Some folks fail some do alright   You could take a Johnboat all the way to town   Had an angry broken father, in a house beside the water.      Chorus:   Shadowland, what secret are you keeping   Are you only sleepin to wake another day   Shadowland, Oh, how could I have loved you   I never really knew you, anyway.      Funny how the stars down there shine so bright   Breeze comes in just like a prayer   Mama asked Jesus to keep daddy home at night   I guess it was a pity, but Jesus never did it.      Chorus:   Shadowland, what secret are you keeping   Are you only sleepin to wake another day   Shadowland, Oh, how could I have loved you   I never really knew you, anyway.      Storms blew up from Mexico,    The boats would all come in   Nights like that you could smell    Salt water on the wind   I was so young back then.      Brother was a gifted child so they said   We could build a starship in the yard   Angry voices came from the house at night   So we’d play a game he made up   And stayed out a little later.      Chorus:   Shadowland, what secret are you keeping   Are you only sleepin to wake another day   Shadowland, Oh, how could I have loved you   I never really knew you, anyway...
