lyrics

Is the shadow out?
She plucks the curtain back,
And it’s there upon the ground:
So still, so sad.
It stretches ‘cross the street:
A strange and unknown form.
Its name she does not know.
Its purpose still a mystery.

The shadow’s much too bright
To let her see its face.
It’s waiting like a knife,
It’s waiting like an angel.

“Are you my father’s ghost?”
She whispers in the darkness.
She goes to fetch a drink,
Then comes back for the show.
“Are you my father’s ghost?”
She whispers once again,
And scans the empty street
Just for the absent shadow.

Desolation comes again,
And it’s heavier than relief.
Desolation comes again,
And it’s emptier than her grief.
