White Shadow

I spend most of my time Tryna work out what I'm going to say For example, today I did not leave the house And I wrote to people far away Hours away Don't sail away in your mind Have you always been like this? Conspiring with lightning? Don't fade away You're on the brink of something great Stay Don't go Stay Don't go Stay Don't go Stay Don't go Stay I spent most of the night Tryna take back all the time that it took In a borrowed book I write things in the margins That you wouldn't understand if you looked But why would you look? Don't sail away in your mind Have you always been like this? Conspiring with lightning? Don't fade away You're on the brink of something great Great I take the white shadow from you I give you what I can give you I curse the burden that's on you But I can't take it away Broken glass in the river Reflects a crumblin' pillar Break the branch that is withered Cut it into somethin' Turn the wheel of tomorrow As you lie dreamin' in the grass Decant all of your sorrow Into a clearer glass Endless soul, unbending light Already whole, all is right Don't sail away in your mind (in Los Angeles, in the Pyrenees) Have you always been like this? (In the Andes, in the Himalayas) Conspiring with lightning? (In the Cederberg) Don't fade away (There's a weaver bird) You're on the brink of something great (there's a pigeon on a building in Johannesburg) Great Your white shadow I'm in your white shadow Your white shadow I'm in your white shadow Your white shadow I'm in your white shadow Your white shadow I'm in your white shadow Your white shadow I'm in your white shadow
