Shadows

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
