(George Jones - Dick Overbey) I lead a rich rewarding life, a wife, a home, a car But generally you can find me down in some dim lit bar I hold all the pleasures of the world, this fact I can't deny But I'm living, yes, I'm living in the shadow of a lie. My wife's first husband and myself were on a fishin' trip He was in our rowboat, me on shore, when I saw my partner slip A hellish thing took hold of me and I delayed my rescue dash Still I knew my lover husband had finally breathed his last. I took his body back to town and restrained a happy smile When they said there'd be a hearin', wouldn't even be a trial That a fine upstanding citizen like me could do no wrong And the walls between me and my love would finally soon be gone. Now just when my world glows brightest and warm thoughts run through my head A chilling darkness hovers like a demon over head And sometimes the guilt inside me reigns so strong I hope to die For I'm living, is it living, in the shadow of a lie...

There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost It envelopes as I lie It envelopes as I dream And I am lost There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost I can hear it in my sleep, I can feel it as you breathe And I am lost Oh am I There's an urgent siren There's an urgent siren in my speech And I am lost It envelopes as I lie It envelopes as I dream And I am lost I can hear it in my sleep, I can feel it as I breathe There's a burning in my chest, maybe this livings not for me I am calling out your name, don't dare say you can't hear me speak If I gave more than I have well I'd be ripping at the seams And I am lost Can't you hear me calling Can't you hear me calling Would you stop the siren call Can you help me stop the screams I am calling out your name Are you calling out for me Would you stop the siren call Can you help me stop the screams I am calling out your name Are you calling out for me Cause I am Would you stop the siren call Can you help me stop the screams I am calling out your name Are you calling out for me I am Cause I am Cause I am There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost I feel so lost

Can't take back the angry words we've said Can't forget the bitter tears we've shed Just can't seem to get along Even though the feelings strong This lovin' hours just cannot move ahead We always seem to come back home Can't be bad enough at all Must be something we can't do without With the best behind us now There's no way in and no way out Living in the shadow of a doubt Have we pasted the point of no return? We can't cross the bridges that we've burned Does it matter any more, is it still worth fighting for? Or have we gone as for as we're concerned? We always seem to come back home Can't be bad enough at all Must be something we can't do without With the best behind us now There's no way in and no way out Living in the shadow of a doubt With the best behind us now There's no way in and no way out Living in the shadow of a doubt Just living in the shadow of a doubt
