Shadow Children - Mindy Gledhill

Far away in the light of day

When we as children played

Prone to run in the setting sun

And slowly fade away

Where, where did we go, oh

When we lost our shadows?

I’ll fly through your window

If you tell me a story

Of long lost boys and their wooden toys

And mermaids by the sea

Pixie dust and a gust of wind

To sail us through our dreams

Where, where did we go, oh

When we lost our shadows?

I’ll fly through your window

If you tell me a story

Of when we must all grow up

To the applause of society’s mascarade

I find it odd

Where, where did we go, oh

When we lost our shadows?

I’ll fly through your window

If you tell me a story now
