Falls the Shadow

Hello!

Baby's Gone

Stripped down to guitar and the truth 🎵

"Always (Acoustic)" - when electronic safety nets fall away and you're left with just voice, strings, and the words you'll never say again.

"I used to say them like they were nothing / Like air / Like breath / Until I learned what they could cost"

Sometimes the most dangerous songs are the quietest ones.

Lyrics © S R A 2025 | Produced with Suno.AI

Always (Acoustic)

The girl they call Daisy May

How many times have I heard those words
Work hard settle down,  find a nice girl
Don’t waste your time on silly little pipe dreams
They’re never ever what they seem

You can blow of steam on Friday night
But watch your mouth and treat those girls right
They’ve seen you around and think your a heartthrob 
But don’t give up your day job

Because it’s all you got 
to see you through
Happy’s just a word 
in a room with a view
and when your eyes are closed
and the lights are out
There’s nothing but darkness 
to dream about

It seems harder by the day
Listening to the words they say
But she’ll be my saviour one of these days
The girl 
They call Daisy May

Now so many people think they know best
They want to make sure your life’s just a mess
They’ll fill your head with their own mistakes
And tell you that it’s just to late

So move yourself away from the fast lane
Take it slow to avoid the pain
And if you want, you can pray to your god
But don’t give up your day job

Because it’s all you got 
to see you through
Happy’s just a word 
in a room with a view
and when your eyes are closed
and the lights are out
There’s nothing but darkness 
to dream about

It seems harder by the day
Listening to the words they say
But she’ll be my saviour one of these days
The girl 
They call Daisy May

Cause she’s the only one 
Who’ll see me through
Holding my hand
in this room with a view
Yeah she’ll be my saviour one of these days
The girl 
They call Daisy May

The Girl they call Daisy May - RD

I try so hard to keep my head above the waterline
To keep afloat of this turmoil that I hide
Looking up then looking down 
I see my future all but drown
As I try to fight these demons to the ground

Well it’s always one step forward two steps back
And the harder that I push the less I have
Looking right I’m looking left 
Feels like I’m stepping of a cliff
I’ve only got this life… I wanna live!

It’s never black and white
Just perceptions in the night
I’m drifting in I’m drifting out of my dreams
It’s never black and white
Just perceptions in the night
I’m drifting in I’m drifting out…

Well this music in my mind it keeps me sane
As it echoes through the rails of this subway train
Spinning round I’m falling down 
But I’d be lost without this sound
Listening to the call of the underground

It’s never black and white
Just perceptions in the night
I’m drifting in I’m drifting out of my dreams
It’s never black and white
Just perceptions in the night
I’m drifting in I’m drifting out of my dreams
I’m drifting in I’m drifting out of my dreams
I’m drifting in I’m drifting out…

Just Another Place


Just a little truth
Just a little reason
Just a little lie
That sent me to prison

Just a little heart
Just a little soul
Just a human being
That I didn't know

Just another time
Just another place
I thought you were my friend
But now I see your face
