Standing In Your Shadow Lyrics
There I was, just standing in your shadow
Just standing in your pool of shade veneer
Here I am, still yellowed by the summer,
still suffering in silence loud and clear
Well I catch the train, it takes me back
we leave the rails and the carriage snaps
There I was, just lying in the kitchen
Just listening to voices through the tiles
and they said the one thing you can count on
is you can count on nothing here my child
Well you dig my grave and slap my back
and I turn grey on the beaten track
But you hardly notice
You hardly notice
What do you say when they roll a grenade
and it almost takes your breath away?
Talking to Joe with the head of a crow
And its all gone pear-shaped
There I was, just standing in your shadow
Just suffering in silence loud and clear
Standing in your shadow (Standing in your shadow)
Something's not right (Standing in your shadow)
Just standing in your pool of shade veneer
Here I am, still yellowed by the summer,
still suffering in silence loud and clear
Well I catch the train, it takes me back
we leave the rails and the carriage snaps
There I was, just lying in the kitchen
Just listening to voices through the tiles
and they said the one thing you can count on
is you can count on nothing here my child
Well you dig my grave and slap my back
and I turn grey on the beaten track
But you hardly notice
You hardly notice
What do you say when they roll a grenade
and it almost takes your breath away?
Talking to Joe with the head of a crow
And its all gone pear-shaped
There I was, just standing in your shadow
Just suffering in silence loud and clear
Something's not right (Standing in your shadow)
