Evening Shade - Hoodoo Gurus

I am haunted

By a thought I can’t explain

It’s all different

But the world still looks the same

I see them walking around on a sunny day

I feel alone in the crowd wearing winter grey

There’s been changes

Nothing’s as it used to be I used to be

No-one listens

And they don’t appear to see

The life I have isn’t one I would ever choose

The look on everyone’s face seems to say «J'accuse»

The dying sun is sinking low

I’m clinging to the afterglow

And evening shade comes creeping slow

But I’ve got nowhere else to go

There’s a stillness

A sense of unreality

I’m in mourning

For the man I used to be

The place I’m in is not my own

But this is all I’ve ever known

I face the evening shade alone

I am haunted

By a thought I can’t explain

It’s all different

But the world still looks the same

It looks the same
