Memory Garden - Shade lyrics

[Words & Music: T. Björn]

It knows no time, life or race

Terminates, leaves just an empty space

It rises high, black and shapeless

Falls low, smooth and soundless

All in it's way, will be gone like yesterday

Crawling faster, our disaster

Now it has come to take us there

To the place where we all beware

And who knows what it has to show

We'll figure it out from down below

Next in line, a sorrowed face

Swept away, end of chase

Another foolish desperate try

Keeps me asking the question, why?

Prayers are good, for lack of sense

The final stand, darkness so dense

Now it has come to take us there

To the place where we all beware

And who knows what it has to show

We'll figure it out from down below

Even though the sun might shine now

The shade will come and tuck you in

Even if your life's divine now, it too shall end

You're in denial, trying to turn away

But it will catch up on you someday

Maybe tomorrow or the next decade

But everyone will face eternal shade

Even though the sun might shine now

The shade will come and tuck you in

Even if your life's divine now it too shall end
