Beautiful Shadow
Everywhere I encounter a scaring ghost
It is the beautiful shadow of my lover
Flying, hiding, teasing, mocking, itching
It does not give me time to live as myself
I cast my eyes over the Rainbow Mountains
There her pretty shadow smiles down on me
In the valley I go but there it is waylaying me
Ready to hijack my shadow for a mock fight
I go to bed and cover my head with a sheet
But I feel it there sharing the cold bed with me
In the bathroom she comes to me tip toeing
Then I feel we are bathing but with shadow
Beautiful shadow of my lover haunts me
Teasing and bullying me as her profession
When it comes blood runs hot in my veins
When I check round me I only feel her ghost
Lover, why do you hide away from me daily?
My heart has apples, juices, pizza, and honey
Packed at the table of your romantic ovens
Come now, come;morrow never comes home
