Where the sha-dows run from them-selves

You said no strings could secure you
At the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels,
Goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time
At the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need
Just beginning.

I’ll wait in the queue
When the trains come back;
Lie with you where
The shadows run from themselves.

At the party she was kindness
In the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound
Now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles
In her dark eyes.
Shes just dressing, goodbye windows,
Tired starlings.

Ill sleep in this place
With the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark
Where the shadows run from themselves.

Jenny screams out and it’s no pose
‘Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke

Maybe I’m more clever than a girl like her

Verse

When night shadows fall I always recall
Out there across the sea.
Twilight falling down on
On a little town—’tis fresh in memory.
I hear a mother pray and to her baby say,
Don’t cry—this is their lullabye.—

There’ll be bluebirds over—etc.

A singer by the name of Dave Hause did a cover of this Flogging
