shadowland lyrics
 

Does anyone know where i can find the lyrics to shadowland, i like the name of the song, sounds quite mystic and magical

Is this a Meat song?? :? :?

Yes, it was a meat song, it was left of CSIB but i'm not sure if it was used as a b side on any of meats singles

No, Shadowland wasn't a b-side on any of the singles from CHSIB.

... meant to add Shadowland was written and submitted by Steve Earle.

I've now moved this topic to the Couldn't Have Said It Better forum.

Found these lyrics by Steve Earle for Shadowland on Cowboylyrics.com so I imagine this is the song considered by Meat for CHSIB:

Artist/Band: Earle Steve
Lyrics for Song: Shadowland
Lyrics for Album: Jerusalem

Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows
There's a place there lonely fools can go
Where if you hold your money, it'll burn your hand
So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland

chorus
Down the highway, down the road I'm bound
And my heart keeps poundin' and the wheels go 'round
And it's a hard place for a mortal man
And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland

Yeah, when I was younger I could hold my own
My right hand was thunder and my left was stone
Now I ain't as handsome as I was back then
So I'm takin' my chances in the shadowland

chorus

Been down a thousand highways and they're all the same
Another empty place where I can hide my shame
And there's a heartache waitin' up around the bend
For a lonesome stranger in the shadowland

chorus

Sounds good Diane, and fits in quite nicely with the "Testify!" concept, but I think would lack in the CHSIB mold.

ROCK ON GOOD MUSIC!!!

How sad! I do love the lyrics though. I wonder how it sounds.

I'll probably get shot for this but I think it would be part of an interesting concept if they would pick it instead of CHSIB (the song)...
As Shadowland seems to me to be a 'give up' song and Testify a 'I'm back again'...
Instead of Man Of Steel crossed my mind too but I wouldn't remove my favorite song on it, would I? 8)

Very sad lyrics Patricia.

Has anyone heard Steve Earle sing this song?

Haven't heard it but it's on his Jerusalem album available from amazon:-

Thanks Lynne. :) Was just wondering if anyone here had actually heard the song and could tell us something about it.
