SHADOWS OF THE MORNING

(Oct 14, 2004)

Flow with the river, sail with the tide
And follow your heart wherever you go
Speak with conviction, swallow your pride
And you won't feel troubled come tomorrow
My back was strong and my shirt was clean
And I spoke with fire of the dawning
As we stood among the trees and slipped to our knees
To wait for the shadows of the morning

My thoughts they were racing like wings passing by
On a thin black mist in the deep blue sky
The chill of the night cast a whisper and sighed
To the thin shade of gloom that it could not deny
My soul was pure and my spirits high
But it came without pause, without warning
An unrelenting force wrapped up the night
And we hid in the shadows of the morning

Clean flows the river down to the sea
As the morning sun feeds the melting snow
At the dawn of the day we had little to say
And we no longer knew where it was we had to go
We turned to the left, looked to the right
It's a trick of the trade, it's a trick of the light
And we could not say if it was wrong, if it was right
As we fought with the doubts that were forming
And the day moved ahead, left us behind
Trapped like the shadows of the morning
Trapped like the shadows of the morning
