The morning wakes me with ringing Cold coffee, unappreciated Work's waiting Another world again Habit is a stone that doesn't move right away I'm just a stand-in, a shadow, not the first, not your lap I was left standing, when I wanted to sleep A stand-in that time forgets In the train, quiet songs are playing Words vanish, melting along the way People's stories sleep in their eyes and simply flow No one knows who I was I'm just a stand-in, a shadow, not the first, not your lap I was left standing, when I wanted to sleep A stand-in that time forgets Stars are falling, who will catch them? Dust in the palms, light in the eyes Maybe someday I'll return But now, now I'm just peace I'm just a stand-in, a shadow, not the first, not your lap I was left standing, when I wanted to sleep A stand-in that time forgets
