Shadow Boxers

(Music & Lyrics: Ezio Lunedei)

shadow boxers face the wall
not to be alone
they pray it isn't so
there must be some where they can go
they'll never fall
or take chances at all

taking back the things they've said
no longer seeing red
shadows on a wall
there must be something we don't know
they'll never fall
or take chances at all

and even if cars park where they say they will be
will that bring us all joy and added security
when even the lonely are allowed to feel free

and no one feels guilty by eleven am
not even the truants or adulterous men
for they only break what they think they can mend

but there are times when we must pay
for decisions that we've made
whether deceiving or deceived
there was a time I did believe
that we'd never fall
or take chances at all

and shadow boxers face the wall
not to be alone
