Shadow Song

Find me a shadow, my love, my love. O find me a shadow that’s deep and wide. Find me a black little hole in the world and we’ll be together inside. Find me a meadow, my love, my love. O find me a meadow that’s filled with wheat. Find me a mill with a stream and an oven and we’ll be together and eat. Find me a swallow, my love, my love. O find me a swallow whose voice does ring. Find me the music to share in its joy and we’ll be together and sing. Find me a hollow, my love, my love. O find me a place I need bake no more bread. Find me a pit where no bird ever sings and we’ll be together and dead.
