[Verse 1]
Heavy shadows
From long leaf palm trees that move along out my window
Are playin' tricks on
My shallow eyelids 'til all I see
Are blood red flashes of light

[Verse 2]
Nothin' frightful
They tell me there's nothing to fear
They're on me
Shadows
But half of the moon will like to disagree
Those heavy, heavy shadows making me turn all night

[Chorus]
I'm scared I might
I'm scared I might
I'm scared I might forget the dawn

[Verse 3]
While I'm sleeping
With a tombstone or pillow
Shrowded
Shadow
I'll listen for the
Sound of singing
To lift these heavy shadows on the
Wings of mornings birds
