“One Sun, Ten Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verses]
Em
I walked down the alley, saw a cat in the night
G
Under the one sun, ten shadows took flight
D
Chasing the daydreams, in the twilight’s decay
A
Found the lost melody, in the heart of the fray

[Chorus]
Em
One sun, ten shadows, it’s a world of illusion
G
Ten tales of sorrow, one moment of fusion
D
In the light of the day, in the dark of the battle
A
One sun, ten shadows, are just part of the rattle

[Verses]
Em
Counting the moments, stars in the sky
G
Under the one sun, ten shadows lie
D
Singing the blues, dancing in the rain
A
Life’s a sweet music, in the joy and the pain

[Chorus]
Em
One sun, ten shadows, it’s a world of emotion
G
Ten echoes of laughter, one wave of devotion
D
In the heat of the passion, in the cool of the rattle
A
One sun, ten shadows, are the essence of the battle
