Shade

A long time ago I was a lonely shade in a lonely wasteland.

A long time ago I was a searching lamp.

And there were times, there were lives,

There were ways to guide me by the way of signs.

A long time ago I was a bitter wine.

Won’t you shade me from the status quo,

The ocean glow, try me hide me won’t you come to

Save me from the barren land, I’ll be your Man,

Trust me, lust me won’t you be my shade?

If you really love me you’ll be my shade.

In the now I ride on shades of a desert cradle.

In the now I take on less degree.

And maybe here I won’t forget to peer,

I take the reigns of life I may not want to steer.

In the now, I somehow beat a fear.

Won’t you shade me from the status quo,

The ocean glow, try me hide me won’t you come to

Save me from the barren land, I’ll be your Man,

Trust me, lust me won’t you be my shade?

If you really love me you’ll be my shade.

If you really love me you’ll be my shade.

Traveling through,

A shadow moves on a plane towards you.

Traveling through, it hints a trail.

Moving fast, it’s funny how it wears your past

And still hints shades of time that lasts.
