Shadow from Beneath Waves by Karl Blau

Let the cherry blossoms fall on me
Must I swing alone long from my favorite tree
Is what I thought
Until I looked under me
There floating in silent mimicry
With hummingbird grace and featureless face
A lively ghost of the grass
You who have always been a family friend
That I have never really been alone

Shadow - once locked inside a trunk behind the family tree
Shadow - some lost beneath the blue and green of sea
Now that I blew the candles out
I crawl deep inside of you
I've learned how love is scared of light
Yet it flows free in you

So shadow
Take me away from this
Blow your blackened kiss on my cheek
Let me reek of the night
When I flounder in light
Let me reek of the night

The night I blew the candles out
I crawled the insides of you
Love burns - I once shared of light
Yet I'll turn free for you

So shadow
Take me away from this
Blow your blackened kiss on my cheek
Let me reek of the night
When I flounder in light
Let me reek of the night
When I flounder in light
I'm a fish on the sandbar
Beneath The Sun
And though I too am in the dark
About the why's of wanting you
I started in the womb
I'll end up in the tomb
Beloved shadow
I'm scared of in between times
Gonna dig a deep, dark coal mine
Inside you'll find
My shadow
My shadow
My shadow
