lyrics

I was a shadow on the wall in a town that time forgot •
The sound of nothing happening was deafening •
There were years of lost weekends •
Women’s faces made of stone •
Like a movie with no happy ending •
But I’d taken all I could, but what I stole was all the same •
For the ideas of fools could keep one laughing •
For I’ve run three thousand miles •
Just to stand in the sun •
To find myself with that same shadow on the wall •
It’s just my same shadow on the wall •
There were big city games and hillsides covered with flames •
There were smoke screens in every direction •
There was heat rising up with a fire-like lust •
Love was on extended vacation •
Like a dream gone astray •
I woke up on that fateful day •
To find a stranger tending my garden •
I’d harvest just what I could to save the remaining good for some distant rainy day •
And I’ve run three thousand miles •
Just to stand in the sun •
To find myself with the same shadow on the wall •
It’s just my same shadow on the wall •
With every move that I made •
It’s been the shadow’s serenade that keeps me dancing to a tune that’s too familiar •
And wherever I go there’s a song that I know •
That’s been following me down every highway •
I heard it too many times like a broken nursery rhyme •
That I’ll carry from the cradle to heaven •
And I’ve run three thousand miles •
Just to stand in the sun •
To find myself with the same shadow on the wall •
It’s just my same shadow on the wall •
It’s just my same shadow on the wall •
