You and Your Shadow

from Forward by Beth Patterson

/

lyrics

You and your shadow
Compelling and shy
Full of secrets and sweet mystery
And a beautiful vision,
Though I can’t catch a dream,
If I sit still enough, I might see

And though I wasn’t searching
For what I have found
It could not be more perfectly planned
So I’ll wait for that moment
In motionless bliss
Like a butterfly lights on my hand

So go where you want to
And come when you will
Always welcome, but never confined
For there’s plenty of room
For you and your shadow
In my heart, if you feel so inclined

There’s lore to be laughed at
And words to be said
There are songs that are still yet unsung
Oh, the tales ripe for telling
As they slowly unfold
Such perfection at the tip of your tongue

My legs won’t support me
I can’t catch my breath
It escapes when your lips are on mine
Running wild in a heartbeat
I’ll savor one pulse
As I’m frozen this moment in time

So go where you want to
And come when you will
Always welcome, but never confined
For there’s plenty of room
For you and your shadow
In my heart, if you feel so inclined
