i thought we were free till i found out different
i thougt we'd escape
but we still have to wait
you helped me stay calm though we've been bombarded
and strengthened me with love through an arduous campaign
so much closer than we were
makes it all worth fighting for
faint hearts and promises let me down
and i need you
yes i need you
you're my shadow
oho, oho, i'm sure it's right
careful with your friends or they'll end up jealous,
loyalty and love are never for sale
i thought we'd escaped
all the complications,
i thought we'd escaped
but we still had to fail open-eyed and innocent,
situations aggrevate faint hearts,
and promises let me down
and i need you
yes i need you,
you 're my shadow
oho, oho, i'm sure it's all right
