Lyrics

Dark Shadow (On the Cold Hard Ground)

Down here by the station
See you shiverin' all around
It's clear you have nothin' more than
Cardboard on the ground

Every breath you take
Floats away like smoke
Any dreams you once entertained
Have all been lost or broke

CHORUS: Leaving only SHADOWS
Little more to be found
DARK SHADOWS
ON THE COLD HARD GROUND

Oh it 'tis the season
Christmas decorations say
But there's little joy to the world
Outside the shop's display

So your hands reach out
And those coins they shine
As the sun breaks through the clouds
Onto this soup kitchen line

CHORUS: Where you cast your SHADOW
Little more to be found
Your DARK SHADOW
ON THE COLD HARD GROUND


BRIDGE: Only the cold and darkness surround you
Under the weight of the night
But hope still springs eternal
By the glow of that old street light

CHORUS: Where you cast your SHADOW
Little more to be found
Your DARK SHADOW
ON THE COLD HARD GROUND

CHORUS (repeat)
