Riding up the alley in the rain,

no lights to show the way.

How could this ever be their home?

Through the darkness you could only

see a giant shadow which was to be

a house where evil ruled at night.

And the shadows at the gate,

they seemed to be alive,

yeah the shadows at the gate.

Alive!

Everything inside was left untouched

except for what the rats had got and the

dust of time that showed its mark.

Armed with candlelight and open eyes

hrough the dark they fought their way

'til every room was lit again.

And the house began to breathe,

it seemed to be alive,

yeah the house began to breathe.

Alive!

As the candlelight began to fade

and Jonathan said "Let's go to bed",

the fireplace had ceased to burn.

Both were fast asleep before

the dawn, dreaming, dreaming.

They did not know about the shadow.

Yeah the shadow on the wall.

It really came alive.

Yeah the shadow on the wall,

sunrise!
