The days are gone now,
But I still remember.
The way we used to be,
You and me.
And days are long now,
I'm trying to get along now.
And baby can't you see,
I'm the one to be.

(chorus)
Here I am.
Standing in the shadows of the dawn,
Oh yeah!
Here I am now,
Waiting for your charity.
Here I am now,
Standing alone.
Here I am now, waiting for your lovin'.
So I'm taking my blues away.

I'll keep on walking,
I'm sure that I know.
It's a lonely road, but I know ill make it thru.
To have my days now,
I'll keep on going strong.
They had to know,
I will keep holding on!

(chorus)
Here I am.
Walking in the shadows of the dawn,
Oh yeah!
Here I stand now,
Standing right before you.
I'm waiting for your love, oh tonight!
Here I am now,
Waiting for your charity.
I'm drinking my blues away.
