ian freud - shadow puppets lyrics
in media res, a rainy day
a cup of silent tea
knuckles wrapped around the china
what more can she be?
yesterday has been and gone
but will tomorrow come?
if so, then what will it be
to whom will it belong?
picks up her shopping bags
and leaves a note
fastens up the b+ttons of her coat
this is where she used to come
when hair was blonde and skin was young
to flirt with boys
and make a life worthwhile
now they’re all just shadow puppets
dancing on the walls inside her mind
he’s late again (he always is)
and stamps his rain+soaked feet
the table’s empty, no+one’s there
he takes a window seat
while he watches life pass by
the waitress finds the note
crumpled up, it’s swept away
into the bin it goes
watches his reflection in his cup
eyes he doesn’t recognise look up
this is where he used to come
when he was young and fit and strong
before the world took everything he had
now it’s all just shadow puppets
dancing on the walls inside his mind
she’s still waiting for the bus
when he spies her in the street
a shadow puppet, sillhouetted
she boards and takes her seat
