lyrics

Oh, your shadow was polite to me today
She kissed my hand then went on her way
And that's what I expected from her

She was harsh to me, but it was alright
All I wanted was a little time set aside
And I waited long until the night

You're elusive, you know

Oh, you're a shadow in the dark
And I offered you my heart
Oh, you're a shadow on the prowl
But I will take my heart back now

And if I ever see it coming after me
Sure as hell you're gonna see me flee
So don't you dare look at me

I was trapped in a boa's hold
I was dying but didn't wanna be let go
And I thought she only did it to her foes

But I was wrong

You were always on my mind
In the morning or at night
Oh, my dear boy don't follow me
See, I struggled so much just to breath

And I choked for hours, choked for days
The mirage love gives just took my place
I accepted her forlorn embrace
And I said I loved her poisonous taste

Oh, you're a shadow in the dark
And I offered you my heart
Oh, you're a shadow on the prowl
But I will take my heart back now

Oh, you're a shadow in the dark
And I offered you my heart
Oh, you're a shadow on the prowl
But I will take my heart back now

about

Andrew White Portland, Oregon

Bred more by wandering than by his native Ohio, Andrew White weaves pop-folk tune-stories that feature enough personalities to populate a small town. Armed with his sister's haunting falsetto, he renders scenes and stories of staggering emotional variety. His multi-instrumental blends of the ordinary and supernatural provoke the thinking mind as much as it will the dancing feet. ... more
