Standing In Your Shadow

There I was, just standing in your shadow

Just standing in your pool of shade veneer

Here I am, still yellowed by the summer,

still suffering in silence loud and clear

Well I catch the train, it takes me back

we leave the rails and the carriage snaps

There I was, just lying in the kitchen

Just listening to voices through the tiles

and they said the one thing you can count on

is you can count on nothing here my child

Well you dig my grave and slap my back

and I turn grey on the beaten track

But you hardly notice

You hardly notice

What do you say when they roll a grenade

and it almost takes your breath away?

Talking to Joe with the head of a crow

And its all gone pear-shaped

There I was, just standing in your shadow

Just suffering in silence loud and clear

Standing in your shadow (Standing in your shadow) x2

Something's not right (Standing in your shadow) x2
