Let the cherry blossoms fall on me
Must I swing alone, long from my favorite tree?
Is what I thought
Until I looked under me
There, floating in silent mimicry
With hummingbird grace
With featureless face, a lively ghost of the grass
You, who've always been a family friend
That I have never really been alone, I think
Shadow
Once locked inside a trunk behind the family tree
Shadow
Some lost beneath the blue and green sea
Now that I blew the candles out
I crawl deep inside of you
I've learned how love is scared of light
Yet it flows free in you
Oh shadow
Take me away from here
Blow your blackened kiss on my cheek
Let me reek of the night
When I flounder in light
Let me reek of the night
The night I blew the candles out
I crawled the insides of you
Love burns, I once shared of light
And I'll turn free for you
So shadow
Take me away from here
Blow your blackened kiss on my cheek
Let me reek of the night
When I flounder in light
Let me reek of the night
When I flounder in light
I'm a fish on the sandbar
Beneath the sun
Though I too am in the dark about the whys of wanting you
I started in the womb
I'll end up in the tomb
Beloved shadow
I'm scared of in-between times
Gonna dig the deepest coal mine
That's where you'll find my shadow
My shadow, my shadow
