Broder Daniel: "Shoreline"

Ever since I was eight or nine
I´ve been standing
on the shoreline

For all my life I´ve been waiting
for something lasting.
You lose your hunger and you
lose your way.
You get confused and
then you fade away.

Oh this town
kills you when you are young
oh this town
kills you when you are young

I´m not the boy I used to be
This town has got
the youth of me
All eyes turn hollow
from the work of sorrow.

You´re standing on the paving
by the office building.
They´ve got so much to do
Never time for you.

We are shadows
Oh we are shadows.
Just shadows in the alley.

You die when your young
You die when your young
you die when your young
