Shadow Blues

Laura Veirs

There's a shadow beneath the sea
There's a shadow between you and me
I've learned that love is scared of light
Thousand seeds from a flower
Blowing through the night

Your blackened kiss on my cheek
Your blackened kiss runs river deep
A stranded fish dear, I'm on the sand
Blue water from a pool
Up to the clouds I'll land

Though I am dark ‘bout the whys of wanting
Though I am dark, I'm still a child
Gonna dig a coal mine, climb down deep inside
Where my shadow's got one place to go
One place to hide…
