I'll go out walking, early in the mornings
You're probably sleeping or still hungover.
Quiet evenings reading in the twilight
Of all the things that crossed my mind.
We're getting older, I hear your grandpa died
I read it in the paper, caught me by surprise.
Made me think of when I lost mine
When I asked you said that you were fine.
And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now.
No I could not see, as time went by
My shadow fading out.
Tough as nails, I tested all the time
I make my bed, and then I lie.
I try to say, what's mine is mine
But its just another story line.
I've tried to think, what happened to the fire
It's burning out, made me into a liar.
Made me feel like I'd been shooting shadows
Letting all that really mattered go.
And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now.
No I could not see, as time went by
My shadow fading out.
