SHADOWS

I walk along and what do I see

But the shadows of the future calling me

I turn around and what do I find

But the shadows of the past are on my mind

People tell me that what I see

Are just images playing with me

But I tell them I tell them that

Shadows are real if you want them to be

They’re something quite extraordinary

The places and people you’re longing to see

They’re not at all imaginary

But just between you and me

I know they’re the things I’m longing to see

I know they’re the things I imagine quite well

Are they the truth or can I tell
