Until the shadow falls on me
I used to think I had the words
To shape the world in which we live
I’m not that person anymore
I haven’t got that much to give
I used to think I’d know it all
Some time when everything was right
Now I don’t care how much I know
I’m glad if I can make it through the night
I’m out of time
Run out of time
But until the shadow falls on me
The day I meet my destiny
I’m fine
I watch the world wash past my face
See cataracts of sorrow race
And idly stand to add my share
To find that I have nothing there
The emptiness inside we fill
With extra sensory overkill
Till all we have is not our own
And someone else’s dreams will fill our home
I’m out of time
Run out of time
But until the shadow falls on me
The day I meet my destiny
I’m fine
