Lyrics
Shadow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your body's warm but you are not
You give a little, not a lot
You coup your love until we kiss
You're all I want but not like this
I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here
It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving too soon
and leaving too soon
Your body gives but then holds back
The sun is bright, the sky is black
Can only be another sign
I can not keep what isn't mine
You left but still linger on
But you, you were almost gone
It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving too soon
and leaving too soon
How can I tell you if you mean what you say?
You say it so loud but you sound far away
Maybe I had a just glimpse of your soul
Was that your shadow I saw on the wall
I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here
It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving too soon
and leaving too soon
It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving too soon
and leaving too soon
It's only your shadow
