Shadow

(Rupert Webb)

This song is about a man who has lost in love and lost everything. He might be a vagrant, or just searching for meaning on a long journey.

An old romantic dreams of a time that isn’t there
From within his crumbling hovel on the threshold of despair
The Sunday morning throbbing cuts deep into his soul
Since he begged his evening fancies at the local watering hole

I should have seen the forecast for another rainy day
It’ll leave my memory dirty, but wash my sins away
And now my destination looks fallen and forlorn
I’ll spend the morning on the roadside while my shadow starts to form

I often think about you in a time that’s all but gone
I remember strange emotions when you and me were one
You screwed those years of happiness, they’re never coming back
So I’ll walk towards the sunrise with my conscience on my back

The tunnel ends in darkness. The match has burned and gone
And now there’s nothing left inside to build a future on
The sun is in the west now and heading for the sack
And I’m only chasing shadows til my mind begins to crack
