The Shadow

1973

You walk through life with a shadow behind you

Always seeking, trying to find you.

You work, you play, try to run away,

But look behind and the shadow you'll find.

Silent it is for many long years

Until the distance between you it clears.

Elusive the voice, little your choice,

You are the prey and you can't get away.

You run down the road but the road runs back!

Shadow, now substance, makes the attack.

Take your last breath and surrender to death

The race is done and death has won.
