Long shadows at the end of a long day

It went so fast

Never got all the things done I had hoped 

Watching the shadows get longer

Wishing I was young again

Carefree and ready for anything

Days seemed much longer back then

Watching the shadows get longer

It will soon be sunset

A long dark night to follow

Nights seemed brighter when I was young

Watching the shadows get longer

Sunset was over in a flash

They lasted longer when I was young

I remember watching them for hours on end

Watching the shadows disappear

Its nighttime now

Preparing for a quiet night in tonight

I remember those all night parties when I was young

Watching my memories get longer now

I did not sleep much

Tossed and turned throughout the night

The sun just came up

Watching the shadows get shorter now

Its that midday heatwave

Sun directly overhead and its ever so hot outside

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in this

Looking for my missing shadow
