Chasing Shadows

I can feel your heart beat, sometimes
I can still feel the warmth of the winter sun

Sometimes, when I am tired and lonely
I think of that.

They ask me whether its scary
To wander when shadows are long

Why I never look back
Never peer behind trees

I just watch the shadows
There is only ever mine

Floating past on the cracked black road
I feel like I spend my life chasing shadows

They say you don't know how real I am
How real the scars are

Of course you don't
How could you?

You are just a shadow
Like the rest of them

It was only that day
That you were flesh and blood and heart

I can feel your heart beat, sometimes
I can still feel the rush

Sometimes, when I am tired and lonely
I think of that.
