Shadow Boxing Lyrics - Wreckorder - Fran Healy

When the sunlight ebbs away 

The shadows come out to play 

There's signs on the railings 

And all that breathes is still 

In the middle of a boxing ring 

Tethered by a string 

With meat hooks bandaged hanging 

Tie me down 

Throw in the towel 

The next time love 

You will be 

Holding on beneath the ring 

In the shadows 

Be you an enemy 

Come here and dance with me 

Why are you hiding? 

Don't ever say your name 

The job is always easier when they cry (oh they cry) 

Tie me down 

Throw in the towel 

The next time love 

You see me 

Holding on beneath the ring 

In the shadows 

Weaving shadows 

Weaving shadows in the wings 

Dancing, waiting, warring 

When the sunlight ebbs away 

The shadows come out to play 

There's signs on the railings 

and all that breathes is still 

In the middle of a boxing ring 

Tethered by a string 

On hands and knees crying 

Tie me down 

Throw in the towel 

The next time love 

You see me 

Holding on beneath the ring 

In the shadows
