ssssssssSHADOW OF A DREAM © Stephen Cox 1998

Chorus Shake me up, I’m watching a world fall down around me
eeeeeeTake me up, this shadow of a dream is calling me

Verse 1 I'm watching me and my shadow, hanging round in this dream,
e e eeeeWide awake and waiting just to see what it means.
eeeee eWhere nobody listens, and nobody calls,
eeee eeFar as I can see, there’s no one at all.
eee eee I'm just out here swimming where the river runs free,
eee eeeWaiting for the ocean to wash over me.e
ee eeeeI believe in the future, ‘cause it’s coming up fast,
IeeeeeeI believe in the future ‘cause I’ve lost my past...

Chorus (repeat)

Verse 2 Into the fire, into the flames,
eeeeee Into my heart, where I’m living the game
eeeeee Of making it real for the world to know
eeeeee And waiting to see how this dream will grow.
eeeeee Inventing a place where a man like me
eeeeee Can invent the reasons for a man to be
eeeeee Free of all reasons, free to fall:
eeeeee I threw away the key, now I’m free of it all.

Chorus (repeat)

Verse 3 Into a place where I can just be,
ee fee eAway from all the actors and their take on me.
ee eeeeA place where you find what you can’t control,
eeeeeeAway from the loss of being bought and sold.
eeeeeeWhere time is the measure and the means of love,
eeeeeeWhere our can bodies fit like a hand in glove.
eeeeee I’m looking for the rhythm inside of the rhyme,
eeeeeeI’m waiting for a moment outside of time.

Chorus (repeat)
