Byron Isaacs - Shadows Lyrics

I went walking down Lovers' Lane
They were tearing up the water main
Roping off the roaring excavation
I tried to do the math
Where we took that photograph
But nothing familiar remained

Only shadows on the wall

Drove all night to the Alamo
They were setting up a puppet show
Cotton candy, balloons and painted faces
I stayed to watch the tale unfold
The last stand was losing hold
As the crowd dwindled in the Texas sun

It's only shadows on the wall

Everyday the camera crews
Are out filming for the evening news
Life will always have it's moments
But these days we move so fas
I turn around and you blow right past
The here and now plays like memory

We're only shadows on the wall
