Shadow

Where can I hide
Can you find me some shadows
I swear I won't tell on you
Wont tell on you for now
I know I'm not wanted
There's no prize over my head
But I need to hide now
To contemplate
Deliberate

I am recklessly cautious
Maybe I'll come back if you need me
But where can I hide
Will you find me a shadow

There's a man
Walking down the street
All leery and drunken eyed
His clothes all ripped
His shoulders all shaken
In a world where he dreamed
He was
Rudely awakened.

I am recklessly cautious
Maybe I'll come back if you need me
But where can I hide
Will you find me a shadow

There's people dying everywhere
Children in Somalia
Front page news
Of massacres in Virginia
Blood. One side of a world.
printing ink,the other
I'll hide for a while
In somebody else's shadow.
