Fran Healy – Shadow Boxing lyrics
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
