SHORELINE - BRODER DANIEL


                        
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 
                      
we're shadows in the alley 


   


       x3  


                          
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 


  


             
 I've got nothing 
            
nothing to wait for 
            
nothing to wait for 


  


      



          
 where is life 
         
in this town 
                       
where is life in this town
