LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER
Music and lyrics by Mark Robinson
Copyright 1989 Smallboy Songs

Looking over my shoulder
At a place I can't forget
Looking over my shoulder
With a shadow of regret

Im looking out of a window
Into plains of dying light
I'm watching stars as the wind blows
Across the city streets tonight

I wonder how much longer I'll remain

There is dust in the churchyard
Where my people used to be
Theyre alive in the postcards
Walking skeletons to me

Scattered dust in the corners
Of the black shadow land I roam
Boats of lost souls in the waters
Of the place that I called home

I wonder how much longer I'll remain

It's the last time
The last time I'll ask
It's as fragile as glass

I went down to the crossroads
She was waiting by the sea
Goodbyes never are simple
But she's better at them than me

Theyre turning lignts into nights now
Turniing profit into loss
I'm looking over my shoulder
Just to see what I have lost

I'm looking over my shoulder
