lyrics

Shadow On A Tall Tree

Shadow on a tall tree looked like a lurker
Corner cutter jerk at the ladies’ tee
Sparkle in an eye tasted like resentment, thought I heard a sigh
Six on the side swelling up with false pride
Four on the floor, non-committal bore
Two in the sun ’til the cloudy day’s done, now there’s only one
Everyone tries and yet some will be despised
Sparrows ascend as the fates decide
Shadow on a tall tree shifting as a star decrees
Fading in the night breeze, vanishing with ease
Scrambled up and tossed and dropped in a blender
Set the mean machine at the highest speed
Call me back in when the verdict is rendered, following your lead
Everything dies and this will not be revised
Sparrows descend as the fates decide
Shadow on a tall tree shifting as a star decrees
Fading in the night breeze, vanishing with ease
River god’s son came upon a reflection
Falling deep in love and the deed was done
Spent all his last days claiming perfection, hiding from the sun
Wing it in the morning, wake in the evening
Servant to the sundown dims the light
Everything that made sense now is leaving, as the bird takes flight
Everyone flies, but their wings have been disguised
Sparrows transcend as the dawn decides
Shadow on a tall tree shifting as a star decrees
Fading in the night breeze, vanishing with ease
