Runnin' Races With My Shadow

running races with my shadow
god knows it’s been a battle
but no one knows that the race has really just begun
too soon to count the cost
to say who’s won and say who’s lost
I keep ahead by running for the sun
and when someone says what’s been on your mind?
I simply say it’s an old friend of mine
slow in winter, fast in summer
my shadow is a pretty good runner
on a clear day if I don’t move my shadow will
that’s the time you should see him
he makes me look like a walking museum
he keeps me going even when I’m standing still
but still I think I’ve got a chance
I never taught my shadow how to dance
running races with my shadow
god knows it’s been a battle
I get behind everytime I turn around
too close to count the cost
to say who’s won and say who’s lost
but I’m bound to win as soon as that sun goes down
