lyrics

(Jeglic)

I saw my shadow fall across the background of the park / I guess its made its mark
I’m looking out, its looking in / was it there to begin
Or from a seed began to grow / I guess I’ll never know

All the troubles overwhelm me and drag me to and fro / and where the wind might take me, I’ll never really know
I’ll never really know
I’ll never really know
But it seems that fate will drag me down

And in its arms I’m gonna drown / Its deaf against our pleas
So many souls have fought its will / and fallen to their knees
And like those millions gone before / I’m stepping through its door

It dances on the pavement and in between the lines / When my mind begins to wander it starts to show its signs
It starts to show its signs
It starts to show its signs
And I see a single wilted rose

And now and then it blooms and grows / and no one ever knows
I’m left to fight it on my own / In a world where I’m alone
I saw my shadow moving in / And swirling in the din
