Feldspar - Shadow lyrics

rate me

The streets are cold

The kind of cold that chills your bones

And spreads your loneliness around

Until you haven’t got a place

To call your own

One by one

You stagger down the alleys

Till you recognise a smile

In the corner of your eye

And then it’s gone

Hello hello

Is that a voice I recognise?

Is that a voice I know?

Or the shadow of a ghost?

Take your turn

To speak in dark cafes

And like a tourniquet it tightens

Round your throat

Until the words begin to burn

You never learn

But I can see it in your eyes

That you have been here once or twice

And swore the last time round

You never would return

But I could be so good to you

If you could be

The things I need the most

Not the shadow of a ghost

I will take a chance on you

I will take my final chance on you

I will waste my final chance on you

I will waste my precious time on you.
