Cocoanut Groove - Shadow lyrics

rate me

There's a shadow hanging around

The neighbourhood hears spooky sounds

I hear that he's a bit peculiar

There are rumours all over town

There's a shadow but I've never seen his face

I hear he sleeps away his days

He seems a little bit familiar

He seems a little bit like someone I know

And in my tiny world

In my silent room

In the stillness of the afternoon

Where nothing ever changes

And the scene remains the same:

three fallen leaves on a silent lane

There is something in the air tonight

Down by the river the seagulls take flight

This isn't how I thought the future would be like

three clouds that float across a hazy august sky

And in the tiny world that I've built for myself

10 dusty books on a dusty shelf

No one ever enters and no one ever leaves

but the day for some other one to seize

There's a shadow hanging 'round

the railway and the football ground

He seems a little bit familiar

He seems a little bit like someone I know
