SHADOWS
©2002 - music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle
Looking at the shadows
Sun is in my eyes
Waiting for the evening
To fill up the sky
Waiting for the silence
To take hold of me
Waiting for the evening
Seems like eternity
(Chorus:)
Shadows are falling
Falling on the wall
I see my reflection
And that isn't all
I see inside myself
The curtains gonna rise
I've peeled away the mask
Thrown away the disguise
Twilight starts me thinking
Hear the silence speak
Waiting for the evening
For the answers I seek
Reaching inside my mind
This river never ends
Moving towards the sea
What message does it send
(Chorus)
Waiting for the evening
When can I be free
Now the wind is blowing
Can't you let me be
Looking' at the shadows
Think I understand
Why it isn't easy
For a solitary man
(Chorus)
