I Have Moved into the Shadow
The night is closing in
The clouds are frozen still
The birds are feathered down
The churches ring the hour
Where once there was a cheer now stands a sorry crowd
Across the frozen lake
Beneath the tattered flags, a carnival of skates
The scissors scratch their names
Where once I held your hand I cannot bear to stand
This city is a cauldron of blackened snow and strangers
I moved here from the country
I didn t know the danger
I m haunted by the bottle
I m haunted by the angels
In letters from my sister, she asks me how I m feeling
I say that I am better but I lie in every letter
I have moved into the margin
I have moved into the shadow
Move closer to the fire or else you ll meet the ghost
I loved you like a brother
I loved you more than most
But still you left me vacant
Still you left me cold
The clouds are frozen still
The birds are feathered down
The churches ring the hour
Where once there was a cheer now stands a sorry crowd
Across the frozen lake
Beneath the tattered flags, a carnival of skates
The scissors scratch their names
Where once I held your hand I cannot bear to stand
This city is a cauldron of blackened snow and strangers
I moved here from the country
I didn t know the danger
I m haunted by the bottle
I m haunted by the angels
In letters from my sister, she asks me how I m feeling
I say that I am better but I lie in every letter
I have moved into the margin
I have moved into the shadow
Move closer to the fire or else you ll meet the ghost
I loved you like a brother
I loved you more than most
But still you left me vacant
Still you left me cold
