Lyrics
Light And Her Shadow
Unscrew the moon. Tear down the stars.
Pack up the Sun, Mercury and Mars
Wring out the clouds. Fold up the blue.
Un-spring the time, all the seasons, too.
'Cause all that's real, and all I feel
Lies in between
Between the child and the elder
The furrowed seed and towering willow
The budding vine and the fine Bordeaux
Between the light and her shadow
Wipe off the hills, their flowers bright
The color, too, 'Til all is black and white
Close up my eyes and seal my ears
Box up the smile, and drain off all the tears
'Cause all that's real, and all I feel
Lies in between the light and her shadow
Lies in between the light and her shadow
