lyrics

SHADES OF THE LIVING

We find ourselves again
Shades of the sitting on a subway train
We find ourselves again
Shades of the living sitting on a subway train
How did it ever come to this
Scrolling in the shadows through the pictures of the life me miss
How did it ever come to this
Dreaming in the shadows

Strange things pass before your sight
In the glow of the blue incandescent light
Shadows cast on the wall on the cave
we can’t find our way out to the light of day

Send these dull roots rain
Make these dry bones to live again
Send my dull roots rain
Make these dry bones to live again

Each on his own way
Everyone is an island in a sea that has no name
We are so self-contained
Everyone is an island in a sea no one can name
On that silent journey through the underground
Not a word, not a sound
On that journey down

Asteroids in the void of space
Comets which flash and fly but leave no trace
Like mice caught in the maze
We can’t find our way back to the starting place

Send these dull roots rain
Make this desert to bloom again
Send my dull roots rain
Make these dry bones to live again
