Title:
“Sundown Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am (x2) Em (x2)
Under the sundown shadows, we’d laugh and cry,
G (x2) D (x2)
Never knew, what tomorrow’s light will imply.
Am (x2) Em (x2)
In the heart of the city, we found our beat,
G (x2) D (x2)
Lost in the rhythm, feeling the street.
(Chorus)
C (x2) G (x2)
Sundown shadows, whispering tales,
Am (x2) Em (x2)
Of love and sorrow, of victory and fails.
C (x2) G (x2)
In the heart of the shadows, we find our peace,
Am (x2) Em (x2)
Under the sundown, we release.
(Verse 2)
Am (x2) Em (x2)
Through the highs and the lows, we held the line,
G (x2) D (x2)
Chasing dreams, sipping on the moonshine.
Am (x2) Em (x2)
Sundown shadows, our secret place,
G (x2) D (x2)
In the heart of the city, we found our grace.
(Chorus)
C (x2) G (x2)
Sundown shadows, whispering tales,
Am (x2) Em (x2)
Of love and sorrow, of victory and fails.
C (x2) G (x2)
In the heart of the shadows, we find our peace,
Am (x2) Em (x2)
Under the sundown, we release.
