Shadows in the Cave Lyrics

Well after it all

Looks like I'm back to where I started

Is life meant to be this way?

Feel like we're making progress

Come out the other side

Redundancy and I got

Nothing new to say

Where are the words

That will cure me with their rhyme?

And tape my battered hopes together

One last time

And I won't search for lovers anymore

That'd be a crime

So my heart is closed for business

Unless you can read my mind

And I'll gaze here at the wall

To watch the shadows dance

Will sooth me after all this time

Away

Not going outside

Think I'll stay here in my cave

Think I'll stay here in my cave

Half of me's a spendthrift

When it comes to my affections

And the other half's disgusted

At the lack of a collection

Of dues I feel I'm owed

For all the love I sowed

In her

Cause when the light shines

On this hovel made of stone

Exposing fits of romance

Carved here when I was alone

All that they reveal, and all they seem to say

Is those dreams I dreamt of love died

When she took her love away

And I'll gaze here at the wall

To watch the shadows dance

Will soothe me after all this time

Away

Not going outside

Think I'll stay here in my cave

Think I'll stay here in my cave

No "A" for effort

For the one who kept the faith

No "A" for effort

For the one who kept the faith

Do I delude myself

In all these dreams of love?

Is it just infatuation

Until someone's had enough?

And how must I work

To let it live and watch it grow?

And does it always end in heartache

Singing songs nobody knows?

See I'm banished to this wall

To watch the shadows dance

As punishment

For all my time

Away

What a fool I was

To reach beyond my cave

If you need me I'll be here inside my cave

If you need me I'll be here inside my cave
