Shake me down
Not a lot of people left around
Who knows now
Softly laying on the ground, ooooh
Not a lot people left around, ooooh ooooh

In my life, I have seen
People walk into the sea
Just to find memories
Plagued by constant misery
Their eyes cast down
Fixed upon the ground
Their eyes cast down

E    E    E  E    E     E  E   E
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

(Riff 1)
Shake me down
Cut my hair on silver cloud
Broken sound
Softly laying on the ground, ooooh
Not a lot people left around, ooooh ooooh

In my past, bittersweet
There's no love between the sheets
Taste the blood, broken dreams
Lonely times indeed
With eyes cast down
Fixed upon the ground
Eyes cast down

E    E    E  E    E     E  E   E
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

Turn back now its time for me to let go (Riff 3)

Walk around the corner
Never saw it coming still
I try to make a move
It almost stopped me from belief
I don't wanna know the future
But I'm like rolling thunder
