Текст Janis Ian – Shadows On The Wind
Текст:
In my dreams of late, I seem another
Someone I have never been
All around me are the shapes
Of shadows on the wind
And the shade of father’s dreams
They are gone, and still I’m haunted
By restless go-betweens
Fatherless, motherless
Yesterday’s child begins
Life alone, missing home
Orphaned by time, I spin
Like shadows on the wind
In my dreams of late, I am a vagrant
And I’ve never known a past
All the memories I have
Are shadows on the glass
What I see of me is unfamiliar
Like some pearl without a shell
And the stranger in the mirror
Someone I once knew well
Fatherless, motherless
Yesterday’s child begins
Life alone, missing home
Orphaned by time, I spin
Like shadows on the wind
When I dream of love, I dream my mother
Anchored to the shifting sands
When I dream of strength
I dream my father’s hands
On the faces I have worn
I can hear the distant thunder
Of shadows being born
Fatherless, motherless
Yesterday’s child begins
Life alone, missing home
Orphaned by time, I spin
Like shadows on the wind
