Shadow Song

©1994 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Tiger Tattoo

When I come out from my shadow
When I come out from my shadow
I'll hit you so hard that you won't know what hit you
When I come out from my shadow

When we cross over the meadow
When we cross over the meadow
We kiss in shadow, where demons and dreams go
When we cross over the meadow

Dishes pile up past the morning
Dishes pile up past the morning
Friends disappear, like the years, without warning
Dishes pile up past the morning

Glasses I drank with my mother
Glasses I drank with my mother
Are landed in time between one and another
Glasses I drank with my mother

There is not proper occasion
There is not proper occasion
To turn all these sympathies back to persuasion
There is not proper occasion

Go where the madness is hidden
Go where the madness is hidden
Dance with the partner that you are forbidden
Go where the madness is hidden
