Shadow Dream Song - Jackson Browne

I meant to call her name

I meant to take her hand

I meant to be the same and understand

Just what was happening in the evening

Between the princess and the prince

I can’t be bothered now

And I can’t eat or drink

I can’t remember how I used to think

What was the song she sang before the morning rang

Bringing the princess to the prince

It’s a crystal ringing way

She has about her in the day

But she’s a laughing dappled shadow

She’s a laughing dappled shadow in my night

If I could hear her voice

If I could see her face

If I could have my choice I’d be in the place

Where I saw her last on the evening past

Of the princess and the prince

It’s a crystal ringing way

She has about her in the day

But she’s a laughing dappled shadow

She’s a laughing dappled shadow in my night
