When she comes
With the ghost of a smile
And she runs
Through his eyes for a while
Days turn
There’s empty ground somewhere
Bring the gods
Line them up one by one
Turn the coin
Sound the fife and the drum

Spins a Shadow
There’s a rise, there’s a fall
Where the light hits the wall

You close the door
But it still casts a Shadow

There’s a rise, there’s a fall
Where the light hits the wall
Spins a Shadow
There’s a rise, there’s a fall
Where the light hits the wall
Spins a…

Even gods do
Even gods
(There’s a rise, there’s a fall)
Even gods do
Even gods
(There’s a rise)
There’s a rise, there’s a fall
Where the light hits the wall
Spins a Shadow
There’s a rise, there’s a fall
Where the light hits the wall
Spins a…
