Shadow of Another Life

Along the day of when

All sails are loosened

A feather, is it so?

Recalls the season

And I am wide awake

The tide is turning

The sleepers on the shore too

To fairer creatures there

I’m the shadow of another life

The shadow of another life

Sometimes I wish the minutes

Would move faster

Like little dominoes

They’d roll on downward

Sometimes I wish the minutes

Would move slower

They’d flow so languidly you’d

You’d never think they’re there

I’m the shadow of another life

The shadow of another life

Along the day of when

All sails are brought in

A feather, it is so?

Recalls the season

And I am fast asleep

The tide is turning

The dreamers on the shore too

To fairer creatures there

I’m the shadow of another life

The shadow of another life

I’m the shadow of another life

The shadow of another life
