Long Shadow

from Swaddled in Gloaming by Lewis Mullen

about

Under your influence, i grow like a mushroom. Why be myself when I can mimic you?

II/IV

lyrics

From my corpse there grew a pine
Fast of trunk and strong of spine
Looking out along the line

But this tall and mighty tree
Still no match for you was he
Let your branches cover me

When you’re around I know

You cast a long shadow
You keep me guessing
Such a long shadow
But it’s a blessing
You keep me sheltered from the sun
You keep me safe so I don’t burn

Now reborn I head to town
Clad all in your hand me down
Mosscap, bracket, coral crown

Righting all your favourite wrongs
Playing all your favourite songs
Feed the bugs and sing along

When you’re around I know

You cast a long shadow
You keep me guessing
Such a long shadow
But it’s a blessing
You keep me sheltered from the sun
You keep me safe so I don’t burn

Let sparkles dance
From branch to branch
Like all of my tears still to flow

Cause when you’re around I know

You cast a long shadow
You keep me guessing
Such a long shadow
But it’s a blessing
You keep me sheltered from the sun
You keep me safe so I don’t burn

Such a long shadow
But it’s a blessing
You keep me sheltered from the sun
You keep me safe so I don’t burn

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
