[Verse 1]
Smoke curls from the barrel's end,
Another ghost fades into the wind.
No name, no face, no trace of sin,
Just the echo of where I’ve been.

[Pre-Chorus]
In every mirror I’m a stranger,
A phantom in a tailored suit.
I trade my soul for silence,
And the deal feels absolute.

[Chorus]
Shadows don’t cry, they just fade away,
Into the black where I earn my pay.
No mercy, no truth, just a crimson sky,
I live, I die, in the blink of an eye.

[Verse 2]
She left a note by the broken glass,
Said, “You can’t outrun your past.”
But I keep walking, head held low,
Through cities I’ll never call home.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every job’s another story,
Written in whispers and smoke.
My heartbeat marks the measure,
Of promises I never spoke.

[Chorus 2]
Shadows don’t cry, they just fade away,
Blood in the rain, I can’t wash away.
Crosshairs drawn on a dying light,
I kill the sun to hide the night.

[Outro solo]

Shadows Don't Cry

[Verse]
Sweet little thing come on over to me, 
I got some thing you might want to see
It’ built for loving and made for pleasing, 
You got the time baby I got the reason
Back in my room there’s a party for free, 
No one’s invited just you and me
We’ll close the doors turn out the lights
start a fire and let it burn, burn all night

[Chorus 1]
This loves got more to give, buckle up your seat belt.
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, please me, all between you and me.
Hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, Shifting gears out of low, here we go, put me in overdrive

[Verse 2]
I’m playing with your heart like a dog with a bone, 
make you scream and hollar make you Howl and moan
Cause I’m like a fire burning out of control, 
you can’t stop me better let me go
Or like a train rolling down the track, 
once I get started there ain’t no turning back
Just like a wolf creeping up on it’s prey, 
your lost in my woods and you ain’t gettin gettin away

[Chorus 2]
This loves got more to give, buckle up your seat belt.
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, please me, it’s all between you and me.
Now hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, relax, kick back, let me put it in overdrive.

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 3]
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, please me, it’s all between you and me.
Now hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, Shifting gears out of low, here we go, put it in overdrive
This love is rising, it’s so surprising, it’s all between you and me
Hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, relax, kick back, let me put it in overdrive.
Shifting gears out of low, here we go, put me in overdrive

[Outro]
