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.
