I’m walking in your shadow
Ever since you went away – Yeah
And the clock on the wall
Really hasn’t very much to say
Oh you left me bleeding
And left me needing you

In so very many ways
I was trying to attract your mind
But I’m the lonely one
‘Cause I’ve had to leave it all behind
Lied and deceiving
Why should I be grieving you – Oh yeah

Ride on a golden wave
Set sail for the sun
Make every cloud your slave
Don’t be alone

When I get back from trip
Of the ocean wide
Still walking in your shadow
And still looking for somewhere to hide – Yeah
If I am worse off
It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you

Ride on a golden wave
Set sail for the sun
Make every cloud your slave
Don’t be alone

When I get back from trip
Of the ocean wide
Still walking in your shadow
And still looking for somewhere to hide – Yeah
If I am worse off
It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you
