You were the brightest starThe night sky ever displayedBut in the early morning light,You started to fadeYou had a revolutionary vision Of breaking down the barricadesBut because you lacked the wisdom, Your dreams were all betrayedWise men gave their counsel,But the truth you did evadeYou never heeded any of themYou were the renegadeYou thought you were the biggest alligatorThat ever cruised the evergladesBut oh, now, you're just a shadow in the shadeSo you left your small bowl far behind,But now you wish that you had stayedThe big fish in this ocean Have got you feelin' so afraidStill you climbed on up the ladderYou thought you had it made,Letras de cancionesBut your confidence was shattered By the song that a dreamer playedYour hand full of bloody diamondsAnd your heart full of clubs and spadesYou gambled with poor people's livesNow through your conscience you must payDogs barked their warnings And even donkeys brayedOh, now, you're just a shadow in the shadeOh, oh, oh, oh you're just a shadow in the shadeBut it's you they'll be looking for in the heat of the dayOh, oh, oh, oh you're just a shadow in the shadeBut it's you they'll be looking for in the heat of the dayThen you had a little revelationSo you went on your crusadeBut you were preaching to the convertedThere was no one to persuadeLike the fool that struts and fretsHe's out upon the stageYou gave your best performanceBut no one follows your paradeTo be back where you wereNow you'd give it all, your gold, your purse, your jadeBut nobody wants to take that fallThere is no one willing to tradeLittle children see right through youThey know it's all a charade Oh man, you're just a shadow in the shadeOh, oh, oh, oh you're just a shadow in the shadeBut it's you they'll be looking for in the heat of the dayOh, oh, oh, oh you're just a shadow in the shadeBut it's you they'll be looking for in the heat of the dayWell you got your wake-up callBut it was a little too lateYou thought you had handle on it allWhen you were holding on the bladeEven so you just kept on workingTrying to earn an honest wageBut there is the price of everythingOn the day that you got paidWhen at last salvation found youSo worn out and dismayedShe was the image of perfectionIn the sunlight well arrayedShe came dancing through the afternoonYou tried to reach out and touch her braidsBut oh, man, you're just a shadow in the shadeOh, oh, oh, oh you're just a shadow in the shadeBut it's you they'll be looking for in the heat of the dayOh, oh, oh, oh you're just a shadow in the shadeBut it's you they'll be looking for in the heat of the dayOh, oh, oh, oh you're just a shadow in the shadeBut you'll return tonight at the end of the day From Letras Mania
