CLOSURE
you’re looking for an answer
and you think its out there
I guess some people love
and some don’t care
just like new light through old windows
good luck comes as fast as it goes
you’ll always catch it when your not looking
cos there is always something cooking
Chorus
so your looking for closure
because you think somebody owes you
I think you’re wrong, what’s gone is gone
It’s as bright as the midday sun
what’s done is done
so your looking for someone to blame
I can see your sadness and shame
You can’t close that broken door
Babe we’ve all Been there before
it’s up to you to come in
or stay in the dark, fermenting
Chorus
so your looking for closure
because you think somebody owes you
I think you’re wrong, what’s gone is gone
It’s as bright as the midday sun
what’s done is done
you should look inside for what’s alive and what has died
Something in there Must have survived
You won’t find it looking backwards
There’s only one way the tide does flow
For life is a forward motion
and it’s as beautiful as the ocean..

Shadows in the wind
Father taught me the rules of the road
He gave a sermon every Sunday night
I sat and watched his heart explode
Said son don’t bother to complain
Ain’t nobody listening anymore
How mamma used to dread Sunday night
She hid away and gently wept
As she awaited the oncoming fight
A fight nobody could win
An everlasting misery, cos you just
Can’t wash the darkness outta your skin
#Chorus#
We’re just shadows in the wind
Forgive me if I have sinned
Don’t forsake me, don’t give in
We’re just shadows in the wind
(drifting out and drifting in Like shadows in the wind)
An old love showed me that hatred spite
She was confused yet strangely blessed
A world of pain where nothing is right
Going round in circles, stuck on the square
The demons sure got to her
Searching for an exit that just ain’t there
Can’t let the past drag us down
It will twist and tear at your heart
Strip your smile and leave a frown
Gotta move on ahead
Were a long time dead
#Chorus#
We’re just shadows in the wind
Forgive me if I have sinned
Don’t forsake me, don’t give in
We’re just shadows in the wind
(drifting out and drifting in Like shadows in the wind)
