Shadow Song
Lyrics and Music: Eli August and Waylon K. Smith

Thirty years in the midday sun
This ain’t the future that I’d planned on
Bloodstains & calloused palms, Sunday best & simple psalms
But is there more that I have left in me?

CH:
& the only sin is letting the cold seep in
The moon gives no warmth, only shadow

A million miles to hang my boots on
Now i walk them all ‘till the soles are gone
& I done everything, but is it enough
To keep on standing while the shadows grow long

CH:

BR:
The echo of chapel bells
Sunlight floods as the music swells

CH:
& the only sin is letting the cold seep in
The moon gives no warmth, only shadow
& the only sin, choosing not to begin
As morning breaks across the meadow
