Anderson Ian - Demons Lyrics

You in the shadows where I lingered Lost without a light
You found me there broken in the throes of my night
With hands so gentle, eyes so fierce You fought for my release
From demons deep within you battled for my peace

But in the war to save me the darkness touched your soul
Now it's you who's fighting paying the toll,
I see the struggle in your eyes is the pain you try to hide
The irony so cruel this twist in our tide

You fought my demons
But now they haunt you
In trying to save me the shadows grew
I'd take them back if only I could
I never wanted this if only I understood

Every tear you shed a story of our fight
The nights you held me close battling through the blight
But those demons weren't just mine they whispered to you to
Sly voices in the dark changing everything we knew
Now you wear the armor that once was mine
Bearing the scars meant for me line by line
How do I save you the savior who fell
Caught in this hell, in the very storm you quelled

You fought my demons
But now they haunt you
In trying to save me the shadows grew
I'd take them back if only I could
I never wanted this if only I understood

Can you rewind undo the night?
Erase the darkness, restore the light
I'd fight your demons, chase them away
Give anything to save you If only I may

You fought my demons
But now they haunt you
In trying to save me the shadows grew
I'd take them back if only I could
I never wanted this if only I understood

In the quiet aftermath, I whisper your name
Hoping to reach you, to end this game
You save me from my demons
But at what cost
Now we're both lost
In the darkness tossed
