Lyrics
Only a 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.
I'd heard of you
From a voice at the door
I'd heard of you
And the ghost that you were
A trace of you
Just a flash
A fingerprint
On the glass
A trace of you
In the room
Just what was it
That you knew
She's only a shadow
She's only a shadow
I looked for you
In the gaps
Of the walls
I looked for you
At some funeral
A trace of you
Had me stuck
A photograph
I didn't trust
A trace of you
Barely used
On the trail
But out of view
She's only a shadow
She's only a shadow
She's only a shadow
She's only a shadow
She's only a shadow
