Shadows On The Wind
(专辑: Folk Is The New Black - 2006)
In my dreams of late, I
seem another Someone I
have never been All around me are the
shapes Of shadows on the
wind Here's the
ghost of what my mother wanted And the
shade of father's dreams They are gone, and still I'm haunted By restless go-betweens Fatherless, motherless Yesterday's child begins Life alone, missing home Orphaned by time, I
spin Like shadows on the
wind In my dreams of late, I
am a
vagrant And I've never known a
past All the
memories I
have Are shadows on the
glass What I
see of me is unfamiliar Like some pearl without a
shell And the
stranger in the
mirror Someone I
once knew well Fatherless, motherless Yesterday's child begins Life alone, missing home Orphaned by time, I
spin Like shadows on the
wind When I
dream of love, I
dream my mother Anchored to the
shifting sands When I
dream of strength I
dream my father's hands In my dreams of late are signs and wonders On the
faces I
have worn I
can hear the
distant thunder Of shadows being born Fatherless, motherless Yesterday's child begins Life alone, missing home Orphaned by time, I
spin Like shadows on the
wind
