If I Met Your Shadow

Your sun went down When it was not yet your day Nineteen years young Now so many stars away If I met your shadow If I saw you in the shade If you made an appearance Would you look the same? A bullet to a blackbird Blood to a watercolour sky Did I spot you in the mirror Was it a trick of the light? The lives we've lived longing And the times we've tried to try I'll always leave a spare seat For you by my side Do the lines on our palms Or the red skies at night Sound false alarms Or give an insight? 'Cos if I met your shadow If I saw you in the shade If you made an appearance Would you look the same? Would you look the same? Would you look the same?
