Shadows in the Rain Lyrics

[Intro]
What key is this in?
Wait! Wait! What key is it in?
Oh...


[Verse 1]
Woke up in my clothes again this morning
I don't know exactly where I am
I should heed my doctor's warning
He does the best with me he can

[Verse 2]
He claims I suffer from delusion
I'm so confident I'm sane
It can't be no optical illusion
How can you explain?

[Chorus]
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

[Verse 3]
And if you see us on the corner
We're just dancing in the rain
I'll tell my friends there when I see them
Outside my windowpane
[Chorus]
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

[Verse 4]
Woke up in my clothes again this morning
I don't know exactly where I am
I should heed my doctor's warning
He does the best with me he can

[Verse 5]
He says I suffer from delusion
But I'm so confident I'm sane
It can't be no optical illusion
How can you, how can you explain?
[Chorus]
Shadows in the rain
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows in the rain
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows in the rain
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows in the rain
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows in the rain
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows in the rain
(Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!)
Shadows in the rain

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Sting covers his own song from Zenyatta Mondatta. This version plays a lot faster and is more jazzy.
