(When the Shadow Falls)
When the shadow falls
And I am invisible and quiet
I can't hear your songs
Through the wind
At my window
I was just trying
To get at something real
Write it down
Sing it out
Now my mouth
Is a corner of the broken night
I shift my shape
Lie
Shirk the light
Afraid of being rightly tried
As a coward who goes inward
To avoid the noise
Of the earthy violence
Of survival
I've been putting things in their places
I tidy as I go
In the spring I'll remove the plastic
From all the windows
I've let myself
Become a body
Without a consistent guiding story
I told myself
I'd get in touch
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
When the shadow falls
Well, I don't resist at all
Anymore
And I am invisible and quiet
I can't hear your songs
Through the wind
At my window
I was just trying
To get at something real
Write it down
Sing it out
Now my mouth
Is a corner of the broken night
I shift my shape
Lie
Shirk the light
Afraid of being rightly tried
As a coward who goes inward
To avoid the noise
Of the earthy violence
Of survival
I've been putting things in their places
I tidy as I go
In the spring I'll remove the plastic
From all the windows
I've let myself
Become a body
Without a consistent guiding story
I told myself
I'd get in touch
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
When the shadow falls
Well, I don't resist at all
Anymore
