Twin Shadow

The forest is dark but the moon is clear My feet move, I fly silently I know my aim, the night's game All the same it can happen My night research prevents the sweet heat From wrapping myself, supporting my feet I raise my head, laugh at shame Then I proclaim our new flame And I swallow my tears and my short-lived hopes I reclaim my twin shadow The one who doesn't want to glow And I wallow in self pity which I know Despondency is so close I follow a road, I can't go My heart beats so that i can hardly speak Even if i leave I won't find the creek Near to the sea, the birds sing Their lovely words and our hymn It will storm and blow all night I hear the wind The forest is wild and calms my feelings It breaks my chains, and explains That anyway, it will happen And I swallow my tears and my short-lived hopes I reclaim my twin shadow The one who doesn't want to glow And I wallow in self pity which I know Despondency is so close I follow a road, I can't go My own sway goes astray All the way my wish fails No way but just the wait When will I get there? And I swallow my tears and my short-lived hopes I reclaim my twin shadow The one who doesn't want to glow And I wallow in self pity which I know Despondency is so close I follow a road, I can't go Like I have regrown I know despondency is so close I follow a road, I can't go
