Lonely Shadow Cast

Flashing neon signs Dark pavement left behind But more to go I know, I know I've darkness on the mind Absorbed in mind's cafe I take a seat to say, “This can't be mine This dream I find Is taken course dismay” Now gather in good cheer Partake in lifeless beer Glasses empty Patrons gone Myself I've come to fear But how this came to pass I cannot say at last I turn to go But now I know I can't reshape my past Walk on in dream I do But lifeless forms ensue A mother gone A father too But empty streets pursue I've taken now the task To live this dream at last Without my wish Or to my hope A lonely shadow cast
