Hiding in Shadows

Darling
Why are we hiding in shadows
When the trees we wish to become
Are but basking in the sun?

Tell me
We were anointed to paint by numbers
Is it oil and water
That can't be mixed at all?

All our thoughts
Were helplessly lost from the start
All our modes
Of living and loving would never bring her back
No she would never come back

I am
Often awoken by visions of a
Fault line ripping right through these intentions
To our souls

Do those
White country cupboards still
Hold our seasonings?
Your eyes have been encased
In that window for some time

Time to mend
What little of our faith that was left
Time to find
If a faith that's unbending
Could ever bring her back
But she would never never never come back

But in came the night
With a winter-gripped shawl
And she would never come back
And the winds of our fathers
Swept through the doors
And she would never come back
And our lips threw to heaven
The weight of our prayers
But she would never come back
Oh the weight of our prayers
Is there weight in our prayers?
No she would never she would never come back
She would never come back

Darling why are we hiding in shadows?
