Cover art for Changer lyrics by Anaïs Mitchell

I too think this song is about adoption, but it could be about love too. "If I can't keep it, at least let me call it by name" is what sways my decison towards adoption. I absolutely LOVE Anais. But I have one correction...I think it's "morning has stolen your shadow from me but I hold its shape in my mind". not sure though. But that would make more sense.
