Shadow

I've come to be a shadow Come to be a shadow

Come to be a shadow with the sun just out of site
The problems that I know are not the problems I would like
I've come to be a coward, I've come to be a thief
Come to be a preacher, but I don't practice what I preach
I've come to know a queen, I've come to know a king
I've come to know a pawn who knew most everything

Come to be a shadow I've come to be a shadow

I stood out on the water where I spoke with Jesus Christ
He said son things are getting rough, but you are doing fine
Near the burning bush where you lit my effigy
I buried your old notebook which I swear I did not read
You were on the mend when the doctor called you in
To give you the bad news you've got a couple days to live
Just a couple days to live

I fell upon my sword laying in the tall green grass
Staring into the darkness, into the darkness
with the darkness staring back
I saw the face of god, looked a lot like you
Asked me what I wanted, what I wanted
I acted like I knew

I've come to be a shadow Come to be a shadow
