lyrics

Just a shadow

Walking down the streets
I'm just a shadow
People flee around me
They don't want to know

An ancient looks at me
Through the window
Would like to get rid of me
I'm a stranger in town

In the haze of the croud
All traffic lights are red
Pale faces around
For sure they've got warm beds

Modern men on the rythm
Pretty girls grab their phones
They never take it easy
They never say hello

And I walk free in the city
with my windy lores and fading jean's
In my rags I'm ridind breezy
But I'm sliding like a shadow

Blind walkers around
Stoned ice mirrors
They've broken the bound
Don't see me no, no. I'm just a shadow

But that's the price to pay
For my freedom
Not a single ring
From your kingdom, no shiny shadows...

I don't have much money
And I'm pretty far from home
Sometimes life is easy
Sometimes your on your own

Where are mighty good times
Lost in winters cold
But at the end of the line
I'm never growing old

That's why I walk free in the city
With my windy lores and fading jean's
In my rags I'm riding breezy
I'm sailing on some foolish reason, sliding like a shadow.
