SHADOW ON THE SUN

Once upon a time I was of the mind

To lay your burden down

And leave you where you stood

And you believed I could

You'd seen it done before

I could read your thoughts

Tell you what you saw

And never say a word

Now all that is gone

Overwith and done - never to return

(chorus)

I can tell you why

People die alone

I can tell you I'm

A shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss

Looking for a cause

And never really sure

Nothing but a hole

To live without a soul

And nothing to be learned

(chorus 2)

I can tell you why

People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

I can tell you why

The end will never come

I can tell you I'm

A shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size

Move behind my eyes

Doors inside my head

Bolted from within

Every drop of flame

Lights a candle in

Memory of the one

Who lives inside my skin
