The Boy & His Shadow - Tow'rs

We watched the trees undressed into something new

We were the chimney smoke helpless disappearing from view

And I recalled a boy in a porch swing realizing he would die

Fear will take a man’s life, fear will take a man’s life

I was grasping for a shadow something already in my hand

When I lost it in the water reaching out for my own reflection

we need something to change, we need something to change

You said that man is but a breath hanging by his skin

The burning end of a cigarette time will take everything

And I recalled a boy ina dark wood stumbling on a precious pearl

The way the smoke and air curls, way the smoke and air curls

I was grasping for a shadow something already in my hand

When I lost it in the water reaching out for my own reflection

we need something to change, we need something to change

My train will come friends and family will gather round

Our grandchildren playing out behind our house

Next to our names carved in the side of a tree

It’s not what we take it’s what we leave

It’s what we leave, It’s what we leave,

It’s what we leave, It’s what we leave
