Shadows of Light 6/23/98 the sky is ablaze with daredevil shades while shadows untwist in the light and all I can do is whisper to you my wonder at this silent night the shadows reborn as if they would warn the fireflies of this coming time I dance in the dark as if on a lark as all the whole world is a rhyme if this is all true it's all I can do to revel in this quiet bliss and now I can see you've found all this glee no more is this life hit or miss our sky is ablaze with daredevil shades while shadows untwist in the light and all I can do is dance here for you and sleep in this deep silent night.
