Your Shadow Lay Across My Life

Back, I'm back in town
In which we're stuck, I couldn't get out
And that old man, will soon be us
Now if we're too late
Not if we can't escape
All of my time,
you were on my mind
And all of my thoughts,
you're so hard to find
And your shadow, it lay across his life
Time, a time in the past
We couldn't care less, wanted to live fast
And our old house, I can't find
'Cause it ain't there
'Cause it ain't there, it's gone
All of my time,
you were on my mind
And all of my love,
you're so hard to find
And your shadow, it lay across my life, my life
