Lyrics
Shadows
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.
I fall, in the cutting room
Straight to the fall, before the film is through
Today in my head, that field of reason why
Come a little closer, honey
And touch the fire
How long do I have here with you?
The flowers that once were a new
Shadows
Heaven waits, in the darkness of a room
And the shaking at the gates
From here to Timbaktu
Cold front rolls in, like a black balloon
And it sinks into your soul
And you tell it what you knew
How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were anew
Shadows
The mystery of the stars
That fell from your eyes
Watch it as it burns
Like I'm sitting on fire
That mountain is tall
And you know you'll have to climb
Put your arms around me
And let's go for a ride
How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were anew
Before the shadows
