If theyâre going to make a shadow out of me
Well I guess Iâll be the shadow of that post oak tree
In the forest by your house
Where we used to meet
If theyâre going to make a shadow out of me
If theyâre going to make a shadow out of you
Well I hope to catch the briefest glimpse as you go passing through
As the shadow of the Lincoln
That we drove to school
If theyâre going to make a shadow out of you
Lines will disappear as we grow darker
Darker than we planned for at the start
The light of morning will get even farther
Until at last
You canât tell us apart.
So if theyâre going to make a shadow out of us
Casting downward to the valley like an Appalachian bluff
I was born, then I loved you
I guess that was enough
If theyâre going to make a shadow out of us
If theyâre going to make a shadow out of us
