Story Behind The Song
On my way home years ago. I saw two girls on the side of the road, I thought to be hookers. They were speaking with their hands. At least one of them were deaf. Shadow can not see the light, only her Shadow.

Lyrics
Shadow is alone in the darkness of the night
Shadow is quite at home beneath that old streetlight
I hear she has a boy, about nine or ten
He lives so far away she may never see him again
She writes most everyday with never much to say
She can't tell him how she is a slave to her body and men that pay
Shadow doesnt know she is standing in the light
The shadow of her soul hides it from her sight.
Who will atone the darkness of her heart
Who will risk their soul to turn her to the light
For shadow who is lost in the light
Break
Shadow speaks no words, speaks only with her hands
And shadow has not heard, the truth of her despair
For Shadow doesnt know, she is standing in the light
The Shadow of her soul, hides it from her sight
Who will atone the darkness of her heart
Who will risk their soul to turn her to the light
For shadow who is lost in the light
For shadow who is lost in the light
For shadow who is lost in the night
