Those Faded Shadows

On the brightest of all the sunny days

These old eyes see nothing but faded shadows

Seems like the horrors of my lost youth

Are preventing me from seeing in sharp contrast

Hard to understand why it went so wrong

These old eyes see nothing but faded shadows

Got to keep on a searching for that brightest light

Mile after long mile to find that rewarding smile

Faded shadows fill my days and nights

Faded shadows just running up and down

Faded shadows all lying on the ground

Faded shadows are not my final reward

I've watched the good the bad all come and go

These old eyes see nothing but faded shadows

Like a big old oak tree twisting in the wind

Forever reaching for that light to spread its leaves

When I try to think of what can only save me

These old eyes see nothing but faded shadows

There comes that time when one has to ask

Please shine on me bright light from above

Faded shadows fill my days and nights

Faded shadows just running up and down

Faded shadows all lying on the ground

Faded shadows are not my final reward
