Artist/Band: John Waite
Lyrics for Song: In God's Shadow
Lyrics for Album: Temple Bar [1995]



We speak out like children

Of the dreams that we chase and pursue

These rights we hold precious

Say it loud enough and it'll be true



In the company of strangers

Wild conversation and the hours go by so fast

And you find a lot of wisdom there

At the bottom of the glass



But when the lights go down

And the laughter fades away

Somewhere beneath

The moon and stars, yeah



All of life's certainties they

They all just slip away

And you lie down in God's shadow

At the end, the end of the day



We speak revolution

But the future's already been sold

The masters of diffusion

Spinning their fine webs into gold

And the party's just begun



This matter of resistance

Our ship was built to last

We're sailing out on troubled seas

Nail your colors to the mast



But when the lights go down

And the laughter fades away

Somewhere beneath

The moon and stars, yeah



All of life's certainties they

They all just slip away

And you lie down in God's shadow

At the end, the end of the day



The avenue is so crowded

And they're turning up the heat

And the red lights keep on flashing

Out there tonight on Bourbon Street

On Bourbon Street



Wild conversation

And the hours go by so fast

And you find a lot of wisdom there

At the bottom of the glass

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



But when the lights go down

And the laughter fades away

Somewhere beneath

The moon and stars



All of life's certainties they

They all just slip away

And you lie down in God's shadow

At the end, the end of the day



The end of the day

The end of the day

The end of the day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Lay down your soul with me

Lay down your soul, tonight

Lay down your soul with me

And everything will be alright

It'll be alright
