about

On a dark day, I had to get outside to clear my head. I saw the shadow of the person in front dancing around and I wanted to step inside. The 7/8 riff came int my head at the same time, along with a lyric. Then I went home and wrote the song. Hope I've caught the energy of the moment along with the uncertainty of the imagery.

lyrics

Shadow Walking

Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
no fear

Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides

Shielded from sunlight
skin stays so pale
frightened of footsteps
set up to fail

Stuck in a mirror
of this decay
looking for substance
taken away

Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides

Hide in a corner
back to the wall
squashed like a bean bag
flat on the floor

Claws out and ready
preened to let flay
any who enter
get in the way

Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides

Mindlessly working
daring to breathe
twisting and turning
hoping to leave

Dread turns to wonder
surprise at the truth
deadly or lively
where is the proof

Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides

Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
no fear
