One Thousand Shadows

Dog barks his head off
Somewhere in the distance
Do you think you know me
Sleeping children don’t hear a thing
There is nothing now to slow me
Sirens scream as they should
On down the highway
Into our dreams
One thousand shadows weigh to cover me
One thousand miles away
One thousand times I think of why
I had to go away
One thousand times I think of why
I had to go away
Chipped fingernail polish
Who will answer when you call me?
Come on closer and explain
Why the sun is always setting
On our lives in the trailer camp
I can’t go anywhere
On down the highway
Into our dreams
On down the highway
Into our dreams
One thousand shadows weigh to cover me
One thousand miles away
One thousand times I think of why
I had to go away
I had to go away
