Lyrics

The sun and shade
Dance on the floor
Shadows from branches Waltz back and forth

Swaying together
In subtle harmony
Blown by the breezes In a flowing symphony

The shadows get longer
Late in the day
They don't quite sway but flicker
Like photos taken on the runway

Capturing moments
Is why noticing matters
Seeing new details In familiar patterns

I close my eyes
Put my head back to reflect
And for some reason
From a place I don't expect
I start to Cry
I'm not sure why

Tears flow
As the feeling swells
The shadows show no sympathy
Don't stop and ask me to tell

Is it a hidden thought
In the back of my head
Or a beautiful moment that reveals itself

I sit up straight
Wipe the tears from my eyes
And find myself
In the early twilight

The shadows get longer
Late in the day
They don't quite sway but flicker
Like photos taken on the runway

Capturing moments
Is why noticing matters
Seeing new details In familiar patterns

And sometimes crying
For no reason at all
Other than living And breathing

Sitting in silence
Watching the shadows
Dancing together at the end of the day

Sitting in silence
Watching the shadows
dancing together till they fade away

Till they fade away
