Shadow Lyrics by Michaela Foster Marsh

I undid Orion’s Belt

0

Shadow

There I stood and I felt like I was draped in gossamer
Lit from behind by Venus and the moon at night
But don't you ever speak to me of love
I can not reciprocate

There you stood like some mystic Dionysus
Portraying depths that no woman had ever met
And all I wanted was to discover, what torments

But if you ever speak to me of love
I can not reciprocate

You insist, on starting this
Do you think, do you really think
We would recover
I would make sure you carried
My Shadow on your back

I took you aside, to clarify my position
There was no need to lie, it was not an inquisition
How unrelenting you have become
You're really quite explicit

But if you ever speak to me of love
I can not reciprocate
I would make sure you carried
My shadow on your back
I would make sure you carried
My shadow on your back

There I stood and I felt like Tolstoy's Anna
Consumed with passion, yet loathing my desire
And don't you ever speak to me of my happiness
With all of my shame
I wear a name
You can not buy me
You can not try me
I'm not some whore

So if you ever speak to me of love
I can not reciprocate
I would make sure you carried
My shadow on your back
