I spend most of my time Trying to 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 spend much of the night Trying to take back All the time that it took In a borrowed book I write things in the margins That you would 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 I take the white shadow from you I give you what I can give you I curse the burden within you But I can't take it away Broken glass in the river Reflects a crumbling pillar Break the branch that is withered And carve it into something Turn the wheel of tomorrow As you lie dreaming in the grass Decant all of your sorrow Into a clearer glass Endless soul Unbending light Already whole Always right 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 In Los Angeles In the Pyrenées In the Andes And in the Himalayas In the Cederberg There's a weaver bird There's a pigeon on a building In Johannesburg Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow (Your white shadow) Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow (Your white shadow) Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow
