Shadows

I watched the shadows of my life Drift find me long ago Passing through each day and night I lost my heart and soul When I wake up in the morning Feeling lonely feeling cold It's because I watched the shadows Of my life drift by me long ago I move toward every day Remember the empty past I look into the mirror But there's no one looking back Light shines brightly on me But there's no shadow to be cast As I stand here Cold and silent Like a specter from the past
