Midsummer Shadow

Some bright silhouette, vision of a tiger

He's gonna eat through the other side of daylight

I'm caught with you now, but I'm the one that fears you

Not one to restrain the balance of behavior

In the cellar of a vineyard house, south of France

I'm now remembering a skinny shadow on the stairs

I ran through a field overrun with fireflies

We shared a reverie, bitter summer in decline

The night we were lost, vision of the Piper

Dream long ago of a gavel in the moonlight

I'm far from you now, but I know you can feel me

Cut in half looking glass, tearing up the papers

Grim september in your sister's house, in the trance

Now remembering you said, "It was circumstance"

I fell to your knees, coming up with different eyes

Redacted memory, the mirror on the other side
