Before the Shadows

Before the Shadows

There was a light once shone in you,
like the softly glowing fireflies,
on sultry summer nights;
in Granville, Tennessee.

Before the shadows crossed your way.

Before the shadows crossed your way.

There was a song once came from you,
in melancholy Gaelic hues,
on each Fall’s golden morn;
your fetching siren’s call.

Before the shadows crossed your way.

Before the shadows crossed your way.

There was a touch once passed from you,
some tiny flaxen butterfly,
that brushed against my lips;
and took away my breath.

Before the shadows crossed your way.

Before the shadows crossed your way.

There was a you that I could feel,
each time we looked or met awhile,
two souls entwined in love;
that ever would be bound.

Before the shadows crossed your way.

Two souls entwined in love;
that ever would be bound.

Before the shadows crossed your way.
