Dancing With My Shadow

     
 

I woke up real early, I didn’t have a clue where I was
But, by the smile on my face I was pretty sure I’d copped a buzz

When two angels appeared flashing devilish eyes

I wasn’t really sure if they were girls or they were guys.
They said, “We invited you to Heaven, it’s the place we call home.
Won’t you please excuse the clutter? You see, we’re used to living alone”.


Dancing With My Shadow

 

Then, they took me by the hand and through the ceiling we flew away
I was higher than I’d ever been and a little afraid
They said, “We have things to tell you, there are things you need to see;
Maybe help you open up your eyes, even set you free.
And the sun’s gonna’ be setting pretty soon and there’s such a long way to go

(Chorus)
I was looking at the sunlight bouncing off the moon
And the stars were shining bright in the middle of the night
I was dancing with my shadow on this wild and wondrous flight to somewhere

Then, they said, “The agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac lost in a fog lies awake at night
just wondering if there really is a dog. Like so many answers to the things we’d
love to know we either learn them or we don’t, that’s just the way it goes

But, we keep on pushing; we keep trying to be correct. Sometimes we have
to change planes; sometimes the flight’s direct. But, at least, keep trying to get
there, keep on doing the best you can. Sometimes we make it on our own;
sometimes we need a helping hand. Especially, when the sun’s gonna’ be setting
pretty soon and there’s such a long way to go”.

The next time I woke up it was the crack of noon and I realized I’d been dreaming,
and it was over far too soon. But, every chance I get I try to go the extra mile and
find a perfect stranger and at least, offer him a smile knowing the sun’s gonna’ be
setting pretty soon and there’s such a long way to go

(Chorus)
I was looking at the sunlight bouncing off the moon
And the stars were shining bright in the middle of the night
I was dancing with my shadow on this wild and wondrous flight to somewhere

Dancing with my shadow, dancing with my shadow

Dancing with my shadow, dancing with my shadow
