ben bedford - land of the shadows lyrics
emmett flashed her a smile from across the room
like a sulfur match in the growing gloom
against his smooth brown skin they were shining white
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
he winked and he whistled and stepped into
the glaring glint of the afternoon
his 14 years of wrong and right
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
[chorus]
just a northern boy, didn’t mean a thing
only seen mississippi in magazines
gonna tear his momma’s heart apart
in the land of the shadows, light and dark
with his cousins down that dusty road
he didn’t think on it, how could he know
they was just teenage boys seeking girls and fights
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
his granddad stood in his white night gown
in the rough hewn door without a sound
there was two white boys who wouldn’t give no fight
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
[chorus]
just a northern boy, didn’t mean a thing
only seen mississippi in magazines
gonna tear his momma’s heart apart
in the land of the shadows, light and dark
across the threshold, their plan in gear
they smelled like cigarettes, dry leaves and fear
with a 45 colt and the right of might
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
pulled by 4 strong arms from sleep where he prayed to the lord his soul to keep
to that half ton chevy on a starry night
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
[chorus]
just a northern boy, didn’t mean a thing
only seen mississippi in magazines
gonna tear his momma’s heart apart
in the land of the shadows, light and dark
the river runs muddy in the summer time
they dredged a rusty wheel from an old turbine
it didn’t look like n0body in the morning bright
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
emmett flashed her a smile from across the room
like a sulfur match in the growing gloom
against his smooth brown skin they were shining white
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
in the land of the shadows, dark and light
in the land of the shadows
