lyrics

All you shadows just roll on
The Sun will rise and you'll be gone
Soon will come the break of day
You will all be swept away
But wherever you may go
Will you take me with you
Before we end this shadow show?

All you shadows, all you shades
All you shapes upon my wall
It's by my lantern light you're made
You aren't really here at all
Oh, you know you're just like me
You're just like everyone I know
You're just like everything I see in this shadow show

Oh, to be concealed
Oh, to be in the dark
To turn out the light; black as night
Blow out the candles and be still my beating heart

If I could make them do my will
The Sun and Moon would both stand still
We'd never stop playing this shadow game

Dress the day up like the night
Clothe the black in shades of white
Dress the night up like the day
Clothe the white in shades of grey
I can keep the curtains drawn
But I can't keep out the dawn
Beneath the door will creep a glow that sends away this shadow show

They always say, "go towards the light"
I wish for never-ending night
It can't be that way, I know
Someday we'll say farewell
Farewell, you shadow show

Six Songs for Lisa

oh that voice I know so well. I love this album. Navigate is lovely and I like the images in the lyrics that then link to the simple truths of love. Yet the lot have great lyrics. And a vocal from sweet crooning to gentle lows. Not to mention the often enchanting guitar. Erin Bullard

I heard this song on welcome to nightvale years ago and only recently looked into the story behind this song. I sobbed listening to it for the first time after and the connection I feel to this song is unbelievable Asteraceae
