The Shadow Thief

Curly hairs run wild, like curvy dancing trees Made of hope and desire, held together with fire Blazing through every barrier The brush gives way to her feet I asked the river as it rushed to the sea Have you seen a girl, looks just like me See, she stole my shadow Right from under me Left me one dimensional Floating aimlessly Have you seen a girl, she looks just like me Curly hairs run wild, like curvy dancing trees Made of hope and desire, held together with fire Blazing through every barrier The brush gives way to her feet She tricked me with her magic words Promised castles in the sky Built a house of flowery words Floating aimless in that sky She sold me tin, that passed for gold Fed me rust, to my demise She sold me water from the sea While I'm thirsty on this boat My grandma always warned me Beware the shadow thief These roots they run far Yes, they run deep Quite gifts I leave In your shadows keep Never leave your shadow Beware the shadow thief Have you seen a girl, she looks just like me Curly hairs run wild, like curvy dancing trees Made of hope and desire, held together with fire Blazing through every barrier The brush gives way to her feet I asked the river as it rushed to the sea Have you seen a girl, looks just like me See, she stole my shadow Right from under me Left me one dimensional Floating aimlessly Have you seen a girl Curly hairs run wild Made of hope and desire
