Skyclad - Jumping My Shadow Lyrics
["And ever has it been that love knows not it's own depth][until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran]Maybe someday someone will love mefor what I am (instead of what I should be.)Until that day I'll just sit here weeping,chasing dreams is like shadow leaping.The face behind the mirror - an unrecognised reflection,his eyes look old and tired - filled with bitter recollection.The cross that he has carried was a burden I have made,It's a baptism of tears - they are the seas in which I bathe.'Cause there's a fire in my heart - but I can't breathe for the smoke,seems that I'm living proof my life's a practical joke.There's a wind in my sails (but I have lost all my direction),with no stars to guide me now you're not here beside me anymore.Somehow, somewhere you will discovera love so sweet that it tasted like no other,and on that day may you both drink deepfrom that grail we found - but then failed to keep.It's a season I've learned well - some things just cannot be,the key that will unlock your soul is someone else (not me).If you should remember - hope you smile and wish me well,as I walk my path to heaven through ten thousand miles of hell.I stand alone against the cold grey sky,it was blue that day (but not as blue as I).I left my hearts high on that Roman hill,I'll wait a thousand years but it will be there still.Holding hands in silence as the day came to an end,we climbed up there as lovers - then we walked back down just friends.I've know my share of heartaches, never thought of them as bad -but had never quite imagined I could ever feel this sad.
