I'll 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 crossed my mind We're getting older, I hear your grandpa died I read it in the paper, caught me by surprise Made me think of when I lost mine When I asked, you said that you were fine 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
♪ Tough as nails, I tested 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 I've tried to think, what happened to the fire? It's burning out, made me into a lier Made me feel like I'd been shooting shadows Letting all that really mattered go 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
