about

A song about a journey of refuge between the Serbian and Croatian borderline.

lyrics

Shadow, where are we going tonight?
As you grow and out run those searching lights
Somewhere alone in the Serbian snow
All I know, yellow line in the road
Oh shadow, only you and I around.

Shadow, I’ve been talking to you my friend
I follow, but don’t know where the journey ends
You kiss the face of sleeping souls
That lie beside, this long windy road
Oh Shadow, it’s only you and I around.

Shadow, are you going to let me down?
Shadow, only you and I around
You’re going out as the sun goes down
And darkness falls, on this refuge of mine
Oh shadow, it’s only you and I around.

Shadow, when you’re gone in the night
Shadow, there’ll be a glimmer of light
Soon the road will be yours once more
And soon the sun will show you the way
And the borderline will no longer define us,
And the shadow returns
With the sun now at its height
The shadow becomes
This story of mine.
