Shadows in the Cave

Well after it all Looks like I'm back to where I started Is life meant to be this way? Feel like we're making progress Come out the other side Redundancy and I got Nothing new to say Where are the words That will cure me with their rhyme? And tape my battered hopes together One last time And I won't search for lovers anymore That'd be a crime So my heart is closed for business Unless you can read my mind And I'll gaze here at the wall To watch the shadows dance Will sooth me after all this time Away Not going outside Think I'll stay here in my cave Think I'll stay here in my cave Half of me's a spendthrift When it comes to my affections And the other half's disgusted At the lack of a collection Of dues I feel I'm owed For all the love I sowed In her Cause when the light shines On this hovel made of stone Exposing fits of romance Carved here when I was alone All that they reveal, and all they seem to say Is those dreams I dreamt of love died When she took her love away And I'll gaze here at the wall To watch the shadows dance Will soothe me after all this time Away Not going outside Think I'll stay here in my cave Think I'll stay here in my cave No "A" for effort For the one who kept the faith No "A" for effort For the one who kept the faith Do I delude myself In all these dreams of love? Is it just infatuation Until someone's had enough? And how must I work To let it live and watch it grow? And does it always end in heartache Singing songs nobody knows? See I'm banished to this wall To watch the shadows dance As punishment For all my time Away What a fool I was To reach beyond my cave If you need me I'll be here inside my cave If you need me I'll be here inside my cave
