SADNESS CASTS ITS SHADOW<br />
<br />
Sadness casts its shadow<br />
Clear across my day.<br />
That&rsquo;s all you need to know &ndash; <br />
What more can I say?<br />
<br />
You want the dark details,<br />
Every blank filled in.<br />
Here my memory fails; <br />
Can&rsquo;t tell you where I&rsquo;ve been.<br />
<br />
We keep reinventing the wheel,<br />
Round and round and round we go.<br />
Some do it for their next meal;<br />
Some just to feed their egos.<br />
<br />
We keep reinventing the wheel,<br />
Repeating our past mistakes.<br />
What some among us have to steal,<br />
Others just reach out and take.<br />
<br />
Caution&rsquo;s blowin&rsquo; in the wind,<br />
Up there where you threw it.<br />
You asked how it happened,<br />
But you already knew it.<br />
<br />
A little politeness is how<br />
You can have the keys.<br />
Speak now<br />
Or forever hold your PLEASE.<br />
<br />
We keep reinventing the wheel,<br />
Round and round and round we go.<br />
Some do it for their next meal;<br />
Some just to feed their egos.<br />
<br />
We keep reinventing the wheel,<br />
Repeating our past mistakes.<br />
What some among us have to steal,<br />
Others just reach out and take.<br />
<br />
It was a level playing scene,<br />
Judging the book by its cover.<br />
Why the devil came you between<br />
My lord and my lover?<br />
<br />
Only so much can be made<br />
Of the miracle of your birth.<br />
Once your trump card is played,<br />
It loses its worth.<br />
<br />
The devil&rsquo;s in the details,<br />
And he&rsquo;s everywhere else too . <br />
He&rsquo;ll see your grand scheme fail;<br />
Got other plans for you.<br />
<br />
You want the dark details,<br />
Every blank filled in.<br />
Here my memory fails; <br />
Can&rsquo;t tell you where I&rsquo;ve been.<br />
<br />
Sadness casts its shadow<br />
Clear across my day.<br />
That&rsquo;s all you need to know &ndash;<br />
What more can I say?<br />
<br />
We keep reinventing the wheel,<br />
Round and round and round we go.<br />
Some do it for their next meal;<br />
Some just to feed their egos.<br />
<br />
