in the long shadow of loss
i look for your shape to form
in the long shadow of loss
i often lose myself

vesper comes so quickly
though not upon me since the morning you left
vesper comes so quickly
on the zephyr of a day that two hope lingers
when the only thing that can come between them
is where the scattering seeds of a moment must go

those scattering seeds have gone
and grown
i stand under some of the trees
alone
unable, unwilling to escape this paradox
i know
shaded by the long shadow of loss

..sheltered by the love we sowed

in the long shadow of loss
i look for your shape to form
in the long shadow of loss
i often lose myself

forever comes so swiftly
i've begged for a repeat since the morning you left
forever comes so swiftly
as a 'never' to the prayer longing hearts whisper
when the only thing that can slide apart homes
is where the scattering hands of time spill their sand

those scattering hands waved winds
that've blown
shapes shift - I'm amidst some of the dunes
alone
disabled, i'm knee deep then waistdown in a sandbox
size of the world
shaded by the long shadow of loss,
alone
tightly hold the love we sowed

time can't have it
time's taken everything else
and it's taken it's time
with this long shadow of loss
after it's taken you

but time can't have it
the love we own
though it's taken it's time
with this long shadow of loss
after you've gone

september came so quickly
though not upon me since the morning you left
september came so quickly
upon that august there was a day where hope lingered
when the only thing that could come between us
was the length a shattered dreams debris field blows

oh, where scattering seeds have gone
and grown
i stand under some of the trees
alone
unable, unwilling to escape this paradox
i know
shaded by the long shadow of loss

..sheltered by the love we sowed

unable, unwilling to escape this paradox

where the sun hangs in mid-air low
