I See You In The Shadows
In the dusk of twilight
In the dawn of day
I see you in the shadows dancing a ballet
In the pack of people
In the soul of one
I see you in the shadows like a hired gun
In the set of nowhere
In the lay of note
I see you in the shadows sailing in a boat
In the mind of fancy
In the vow of fact
I see you in the shadows like a circus act
In the gift of dowry
In the rule of lord
I see you in the shadows giving a reward
In the din of clamor
In the lull of calm
I see you in the shadows like a nipa palm
In the joy of heaven
In the ache of hell
I see you in the shadows leading a gazelle
In the void of ether
In the lot of mass
I see you in the shadows like any morass
