4AD - Shadows lyrics

My window opens on your heart Yet shadows divide our worlds with loss The light setting, in the corner of my room Isn't enough, but is it for you? A melody that trails and falls, yet never fully blooms Plays like an old song That's just out of tune Why can't you just break free? Is it the heat dreams, that fevers brought you? These old shadows (they're just shadows) They turn me like a screw And dance the dance of Dante, entreating you They're just shadows (these old shadows) Won't let me get close to you I'm walking a ghost, through the Garden of Eden's ruins (I'm tryna get through to you) The light setting, in the corner of my room Plays like an old song that's just out of tune A melody that trails and falls yet never fully blooms Is it enough? well is it for you? Why won't you just take me? Is it the bee's sting that honey haunts you? Is it the sweet things you fear--you'll lose If I get near, to you? Before we're through… These old shadows (These old shadows) Parade you like a fool, you're living in dust While a ghost hangs coats on you These old shadows (They're just shadows) Crotcheted and trembling, nude I'm walking a ghost but I wanna walk next to you I wanna break through to you The light setting in the corner of my room Isn't enough, well is it for you? The light setting, in the corner of your room It's more than enough, for me and for you For me and for you
