Well it seems like I spend all my time

Trying to lift a curse

Placed upon me by some grinning 

Trickster agent of the universe


Do you ever feel like something

Is bearing down on you

I mean you've seen this thing around before

But now it's really, really got its claws in you


And I've been around this whole wide world

Traded my shadow for shelter and walking shoes

Let me tell you a shadow's not easy to lose


I woke up by a river

In the morning air

Was like a scene from some old poem

By Rimbaud or Baudelaire


And this warm breeze I thought was leaving

But it's here to stay

Guess I'll lie here with my eyes closed

Forget the cold today


I had a lot of trouble in my mind

But I can't quite

Recall it now

And I've known a lot of loneliness and sorrow

But they're just sinking in this river

Like a stone
