Evening Shade

I am haunted
By a thought I can't explain
It's all different
But the world still looks the same.
I see them walking around on a sunny day
I feel alone in the crowd wearing winter grey.

There's been changes
Nothing's as it used to be I used to be.
No-one listens
And they don't appear to see.
The life I have isn't one I would ever choose.
The look on everyone's face seems to say "J'accuse".

The dying sun is sinking low.
I'm clinging to the afterglow.
And evening shade comes creeping slow
But I've got nowhere else to go.

There's a stillness
A sense of unreality
I'm in mourning
For the man I used to be.

The place I'm in is not my own
But this is all I've ever known.
I face the evening shade alone.

I am haunted
By a thought I can't explain
It's all different
But the world still looks the same.
It looks the same.
