Shoreline

Ever since I was eight or nine

I've been standing on the shoreline

For all my life I've been waiting

For something lasting

You loose your hunger and you loose your way

You get confused and then you fade away

Oh, this town

Kills you when you are young

Oh, this town

Kills you when you are young

I'm not the boy that I used to be

This town has got the youth of me

All the eyes turn hollow

From the work of sorrow

You die young

You die when you're young

You die when you're young

We are shadows

Oh, we're shadows

Just shadows in the alley

(This town, this town)

You're standing on the paving

By the office building

They've got so much to do

Never time for you

You die young

You die when you're young

You die when you're young

We are shadows

Oh, we're shadows

Just shadows in the alley

(This town, this town)

I've got nothing

Nothing to wait for

Nothing to wait for

(This town, this town, this town, this town, this town)

(This town, this town, this town, this town, this town)

Where is life in this town (This town, this town, this town)

Where is life in this town (This town, this town, this town)
