Shadow On - Michael Nau

How did a crowd get so lonely?

How did a dream get so old?

How did the role and the arms and the hands get so heavy to hold?

How did the thread so slender?

Must be a bit hanging on

Maybe we can start over again

Before the echo is gone

If it really must be going now

If the final leaf must fall

Oh maybe it could leave at least a shadow on the wall

Up above there’s a sea of love

Under heaven’s control

The slower we get

The faster it stays

Then the further it goes

Guess I was just lucky to grab it

To have it to hold

Was as new as the snow

The shape of your heart

And the size of my soul

But if it really must be going now

If that’s all

I’ll see if it could leave at least a shadow

See if it could leave at least a shadow on the wall
