A song from the perspective of an 80 year old Gentleman.
Think 'UP' but a bit more Tim Burton than Pixar.

THE SHADOWS OF THINGS



Some day when we're old

I will sing you a song.

From a time when we 

waltzed in the street.

And the cold of the night

was a chance to relight

all the passions the day

had restrained.



And the dress that you'll wear

will remind me of there.

When i'm wizened.

And my legs hardly

hold me.

And the swans as

they glide, down

the river that night 

will carry my body

to you.



And we'll hold

all these memories.

When were all sent away

and we'll find each

other by senses.

But i'll always

find you in the

depths of my heart

for it's all I ever 

have known.



And when all that

remains are the shadows

of things. That I'll follow

till the end of the earth.



When the ice and the snow

freezes all I have known

I will skate on the deadly

cold pond.

When the purple bruised sky

turns all of my sighs

in to diamonds cast

into the darkness

and the light

of the days

could never replace

the delicate smile

on your face.



And we'll hold

all these memories.

When were all sent away

and we'll find each

other by senses.

But i'll always

find you in the

depths of my heart

for it's all I ever 

have known.
