Shadows

She says she’s finally on her way

She knows she’s just a couple of years too late

Sticks and stones and healing bones

And words she would never say but

She’s finally on her way

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Fear into power

And love into lust

Do your shadows walk with mine?

Sharing secrets, wasting time

And if so, will you tell me what you know

Don’t be so cruel

I’m counting on you

Tell me I’m right

Tell me I’m wrong

And ill send the message to someone who’s strong

Someone I knew

You’ve got your ghosts

And I’ve got mine too

I wonder what they could say to me about you

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Fear into power

And love into lust

Do your shadows walk with mine?

Sharing secrets, wasting time

And if so, will you tell me what you know

Don’t be so cruel

I’m counting on you

Do your shadows dance with mine?

Do your shadows hear the cry?

Do your shadows know what’s true

Do your shadows climb the walls

Do your shadows hear the call

My shadows are counting on you

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Thorn covered roses

And rust covered trust

Do your shadows walk with mine?

Sharing secrets, wasting time

And if so, will you tell me what you know

Don’t be so cruel

I’m counting on you

I’m counting on you
