Dawn To Dusk

(album: Looking Up - 2000)

Fed up, knocked down
Withdrawn from everything that once was comfortable
There's so much for routine. You're weighted down, sinking
Swimming against the stream that once carried you home
Took you to the place where you belonged

I thought I heard you crying out
I thought I heard you say goodbye
It doesn't matter where you are
Your shadow's right behind

You know your reflection doesn't lie
You see the tired face through sullen, sunken eyes
A portrait of regret. It won't let you forget
Still tangled in the net you thought you'd left behind
Just to find you can't run from yourself

I thought I heard you crying out
I thought I heard you say goodbye
It doesn't matter where you are
Your shadow's right behind

You're wearing down, but still the same
From dawn to dusk, from day to day
You stagger on, shrouded in shame
Still haunted by shadows. They're calling your name

They're calling your name

I thought I felt you reaching out
Gasping just to stay alive
Your shadow just gets longer as
The sun falls from the sky
