Chris Rainbow Lyrics
"Looking Over My Shoulder"

As I climb to the house on the face of the hill
To look on the town from a green windowsill
The shadowing form of the faces I've seen
Arises in mist on the sun's morning beam

Things that have come and have gone with the years
Leave echoes of laughter in everyone's ears
The love that awakens the spirit that knows
A memory deep in your heart always shows

Looking over my shoulder
Friends that I've loved and lost
Looking over my shoulder
At the bridges that we have crossed
Looking over my shoulder
Time is slipping away
Looking over my shoulder
To see yesterday's friends today

I'm looking over
Over my shoulder now

It's so far away and the shadows are long
It's hard to recall in the space of a song
The faces are with me inside my mind's eye
The river we sailed on will never run dry

The path that they take passes you on the way
The love that they leave is what you are today
So don't be afraid cause it's never goodbye
Good people are gone but the spirit won't die

Looking over my shoulder
Friends that I've loved and lost
Looking over my shoulder
At the bridges that we have crossed
Looking over my shoulder
Time is slipping away
Looking over my shoulder
To see yesterday's friends today
