Where’s Your Shadow

1. DOLORES
Where you been, Dolores?
Hiding in the trees?
Underneath the stairway?
Would you come back home, please?

Don’t you hear your mother calling?
See the sun is going down?
It’s getting dark, Dolores
But you don’t make a sound

Dolores, Dolores
There’s pain in your name
But I don’t feel the same since you’ve gone

I must admit, Dolores
I thought that I could live without
Your cold yellow eyes
Your scratches and your cries
But I was wrong without a doubt

Dolores, Dolores
There’s pain in your name
But I don’t feel the same since you’ve gone

Is that you, Dolores
Staring through the glass?
Or am I just dreaming
Another dream that must pass?
Dolores, it won’t be the last

2. IF YOU BELIEVED IN ME
If you believed in me
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
For you, for you

If you believed in me
Wouldn’t matter what people say
Anyway, it’s all untrue

I won’t play dead
Underneath your bed
Until you save the day

You’ve tossed and turned
But don’t feel burned
It’s just another day

If you believed in me
Like I believe in you
There’s nothing
No there’s nothing we couldn’t do

3. THERE’S A REAL WORLD
There’s a real world
I remember
Wasn’t just a dream
Could you be there
Walking with me?

Was a real time
I remember
When I heard your voice
Say you’d never been so happy

Falling falling falling
Through the night
Burning burning burning
All your light

Falling falling falling
Through the night
Burning burning burning
All your light

There’s a real place
Isn’t nowhere
When it reappears
Will you be there
Smiling at me?

4. I’M NOT SURE
If I could I’d turn the page
Leave this place and start again
Take the roses from the stage
Blow a kiss, we part again

But I’m not sure
What I’m supposed to do without you
I’m not sure

Like a horse I’d set you free
Throw your saddle in the sand
There’s no one you have to be
No one else would understand

But I’m not sure
What I’m supposed to do without you
I’m not sure

If I could I’d run away
From the thoughts inside my head
Up till now they spared me pain
It’s my fault I made my bed

But I’m not sure
What I’m supposed to do without you
I’m not sure
I’m not sure

5. LIKE A LEAF
You wait all alone for the fall of a footstep
But all you hear is the sound of your own breath
Soon the sun’s gonna rise
Couldn’t sleep if you tried

The light on your face makes you look like a statue
Why do you worry? You know you don’t have to
Soon your life’s gonna change
Your tears will dry on the page

You’re like a leaf floating down
Till your feet touch the ground

Shadows dance across the wall
Headlights rise and then they fall

Don’t be afraid if you wake in a cold sweat
It’s just the heat from the weight of the blanket
Soon your dream’s gonna end
When the new day begins

You’re like a leaf floating down
Till your feet touch the ground

6. WHOEVER SAID
Why don’t you listen once?
Somebody else is talking
Giving the same advice
Open your ears and close your eyes

Whoever said that it’s ok
To get what you want and never pay
Whoever said that it’s ok
To live for yourself

Wander the streets at dawn
This city is still your garden
Haven’t you seen enough?
How can you say you’re still in love?

And whoever said that it’s ok
To get what you want and never pay
Whoever said that it’s ok
To live for yourself

Aren’t you out of touch
With all the words you’re saying?
Maybe it’s hard to change
Something that’s never gonna change

But whoever said that it’s ok
To get what you want and never pay
Whoever said that it’s ok
To live for yourself

Whoever said that it’s ok
To get what you want and never pay
Whoever said that it’s ok
To live for yourself

7. HAVING A BALL
Is it too late for me to call?
I feel so weak
It hurts to fall
It hurts to fall
So can we talk about it all?

Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball

You had to be there, I suppose
It wasn’t mean
It’s just a joke
It’s just a joke
But everything went up in smoke

Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball

Just like we were yesterday
Isn’t there something that I can say?

I’ll let you go, it’s time to sleep
I’ll lie awake here counting sheep
I’m counting sheep
Don’t throw away the things you keep

Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball
Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball

Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball
Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball

8. NOBODY ELSE KNEW, BUT WE KNEW

9. ROSE DU CIEL
Tout avant
Avant tout
Il y avait plein de monde
Dans la rue
Plus souvent
Beaucoup plus
Toute à changé
Ah ah que est-ce que c’est
Ah ah que est-ce que c’est

Je fais semblant
Semblant de faire
Beaucoup de choses, mais j’attend
L’extraordinaire
Trop souvent
L’ordinaire
Je m’en fous
Ah ah pas de tout
Ah ah pas de tout

Rose du ciel
Ciel de rose
Tu dirais elle est trop belle
Pas morose
Exceptionnelle
Toutes ces choses
Que j’oublie
Ah ah çà suffit
Ah ah çà suffit

10. WHERE’S YOUR SHADOW
Is your shadow
Brighter than you?
What can you do
But stand in the way
And wait for the day
When it goes?
Walk through the grass
Think it will pass
Losing your way
At the end of the day
Will it go?

You don’t believe
In what you’ve done
You don’t believe
In me or anyone

Where’s your shadow?
Fading from sight
Into the night
You’re lost in the dark
Playing a part
Where’d it go?

You don’t believe
In what you’ve done
You don’t believe
In me or anyone

You don’t believe
In what you’ve done
You don’t believe
In me or anyone

Where’s your shadow?
Where’s your shadow?
Where’s your shadow?
Where’s your shadow?
