Shadows Lyrics

(Shadows) of how we used to be

(Shadows) when we were young and naive

(Shadows) the world was bright and clean

(Shadows) now we're bitter and mean

Ohhhhhh

Shadows

Shadows

Sparkling like the eyes of a child

In the sweet summer sun

Running free and wild

Oblivious to what had begun

Every smiling face a friend

With no motives ulterior

Each day a fair pretend

Only to get cheerier

Ignorance is bliss

And education is a shock

Something was amiss

Cruel reality unlocked

(Shadows) of how we used to be

(Shadows) when we were young and naive

(Shadows) the world was bright and clean

(Shadows) now we're bitter and mean

Ohhhhhh

Shadows

Shadows

Piece by piece our innocence died

And that sparkle faded

Now we're all just empty-eyed

Surfeited and jaded

Looking back on that youthful face

Filled with happiness and glow

No tears not even a trace

Because its just a shadow

Ignorance is bliss

And education is a shock

Something was amiss

Cruel reality unlocked

(Shadows) of how we used to be

(Shadows) when we were young and naive

(Shadows) the world was bright and clean

(Shadows) now we're bitter and mean

Ohhhhhh

Shadows

Shadows

Nothing hurts us because we're hollow

A husk a broken shell

Reality is a pill bitter to swallow

And it doesn't go down well

(Shadows) of how we used to be

(Shadows) when we were young and naive

(Shadows) the world was bright and clean

(Shadows)now we're bitter and mean

Ohhhhhh

Shadows

Shadows
