Long Shadow Lyrics by Della Mae

Della Mae

2015

[Verse 1]
It's a long shadow that follows me
It's the end of a day that promises me
That I will see, oh I will see
The morning
[Verse 2]
It's a quiet room that calls my name
It gives me something, takes my shame
So I can sing, oh I can sing
'Til morning
[Verse 3]
My mother had a painter's hand
It's not 'til now I understand
How she could paint through the night
'Til morning
[Verse 4]
But now her ghost, it beckons me
To carry sounds across the sea
And I won't stop, oh I won't stop
'Til morning
[Chorus]
It's a long shadow
From where I stand
All along, I did follow
All the long, I was there
[Verse 5]
It's a gravel road that leads me home
A place where safe is all I've known
'Til I went down, stepped down
Against their mornings
[Verse 6]
To be alone and in the wild
Like a tree, like a child
It gave me strength to fight through
To the morning
[Chorus]
It's a long shadow
From where I stand
All along, I did follow
All the long, I was there
[Outro]
It's a long shadow
All the long, I was there
