Lyrics (c) Linda Draper/L Draper Music 2013:
Shadow Of A Coal Mine
When the dark of the night meets the neon light
I will find you
It doesn't matter what you say or what you do
I'm behind you
Go on run if you want to hon
Nobody will be saving you
In love and war whose been keeping score
I have been
Now I'm a has-been in my own time get in line
In the shadow of a coal mine
Even though it's been said you're easily misled
You know where your head is
Some people keep tick-tock tick-tack-toe-talking
Talking about the end of the world
Since the beginning of time been spinning
Every generation has something to say
About how everything was better back in the day
Well let me tell you something
The kingdom it ain't coming
I'm not a cynic I'm not a critic
I'm nothing without your loving
Now I'm a headstrong heartbroken fool with a shotgun
And I won't leave here until I'm done
No I won't leave here till I'm done
I'm not looking anymore to settle any score
No I'm not looking anymore
I lost track way before I even saw him
Bye-bye my baby
Come undone if you want to hon
Tell me is it true is that all you can do
In love and war whose been keeping score
I have been
Now I'm a has-been in my own time get in line
In the shadow of a coal mine
