And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing.
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing.
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew.
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing. . . .
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it - left his pearl in the shell.
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing. . . .
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing. . . .
And the tear flows on for nothing.
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing.
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew.
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing. . . .
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it - left his pearl in the shell.
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing. . . .
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing. . . .

This is one of those songs that can be read on several levels. On one level, he's lamenting about how so many creative people were stifled due to lack of confidence or other reasons. Because of seeing others fail, they don't go forward. On another level, this is about allowing fear and paranoia to control your life and not go for anything you want. There are other levels as well.
