Shooting Shadows

[Verse 1] I go out walking early in the mornings You're probably sleeping or still hungover Quiet evenings reading in the twilight Of all the things that cross my mind [Verse 2] We're getting older I hear your grandpa died I read it in the paper, it caught me by surprise It made me think of when I lost mine When I asked you said that you were fine [Verse 3] And I would not be surprised to find You'd forgotten my name by now No I could not see as time went by My shadow fading out [Verse 4] I'm tough as nails, I test it all the time I make my bed and then I lie I try to say what's mine is mine But it's just another story line [Verse 5] I've tried to think what happened to the fire Its burning out, made me into a liar Made me feel like I'd been shooting shadows Letting all that really mattered go [Verse 6] And I would not be surprised to find You'd forgotten my name by now No I could not see as time went by My shadow fading out
