help...and here is my suggestion.  
Forgive me if its no better than yours..I am sooo tired.
G'nite.

I always knew I'd make it big time
Never knew just what I'd find.
Still I did it all and had a good time
Now I'm half way back to Nowhere

Shades of Light: I like the image of a shadow dancing with shades of light.
The line 'Just a shadow of a broken dream' disrupts the image for me. Maybe something like 'Just a shadow in a faded dream' ?

On Half Way Back I see a line thru the "it to" on line 5. Put my vote down for leaving it out. Also, as I was re-reading it I found myself subconsciously saying "I did it all and enjoyed the ride." I gotta stop listening to so much Sinatra.

anyways, nice job with these!!!]]> Sunday Songwriters Group P0RR https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg2-week10-maxwell/#post-56202 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg2-week10-maxwell/#post-1605 Wed, 07 Jan 2004 05:36:16 +0000 Shades of Light

Well now I'm half way back to Nowhere
With nightfall coming on
I might have been Somebody
But I never was The One
I always knew I'd make it to the big time
But I never knew what I'd find there
I did it all and had a good time
And now I'm half way back to Nowhere

Haunted by this emptiness
Without you in my life
Wandering in the darkness
Another phantom of the night
Just a shadow of a broken dream in a faded dream (modification suggested by Christiaan)
Dancing with these shades of light
