Shadows

Back in 1969 Some people didn’t change their mind I’m undecided half the time It’s someone’s dream it isn’t mine I’m dropping out the human race I’m walking along at a different pace The way they walk in outer space Restless as the moon and tides I'm tugged and tendered to your side The gentle conversation threads Reel me in, an arm outstretched I’m dropping out the human race I’m walking along at a different pace The way they walk in outer space I’m going to brighten up I’m going to lose these clouds I’m going to make these shadows my own I’m going to lighten up And when these clouds are gone I’m going to make these shadows my own I was never in the crowd My friends would keep me on the ground And if I flew and if I fell They’d pick me up and see me well I’m dropping out the human race I’m walking along at a different pace The way they walk in outer space I’m going to brighten up I’m going to lose these clouds I’m going to make these shadows my own I’m going to lighten up And when these clouds are gone I’m going to make these shadows my own I’m going to brighten up And turn the light back on I’m going to make these shadows my own
