SHADOWS

Just bent the words from life to make them lyrics

Shadows

Slam the front door goes
you're brushing off the snow
I hear you say Baby ,
I'm yours tonight

What do you want from me
what is it I can't see
You tell me I'm just
what you need

Well I just don't get it
and this situation don't merit
the time and attention paid
to your games

you told me you were free
to give all your love to me
then who are those shadows
walkin' in with you

you carry the past around
it has you chained and bound
Even your ghost of despair
has a name

You know it won't be long
'till we're livin' in a Dylan song
sendin' all our letters from
"Desolation Row"

Slam, the front door goes
It's spring now, no more snow
I hear you say Baby,
I'm leavin' tonight.
