about

I’d been carrying around the music for what became "Long Shadows" for maybe 15 years. It wasn’t until one night about a year before this release that the lyrics finally poured themselves out of a bottle of wine (or two) over a candle who’s flame nearly burned the entire page I had scribbled the lyrics down on. Portentously, the song came to define the zeitgeist of the life I was suddenly finding myself in.
The music had originated at a time when I was trying to come up with some material for Lorraine and myself to work on together but those plans never flourished. For me, this tune had always been tied to the idea of having Lorraine’s beautiful voice be a part of it and I’m so pleased and thankful that she actually made it happen.

lyrics

Long Shadows

Long shadows whisper
In the scattering light
Say good bye to the old sun
There’s a new moon tonight
Like a flickering candle
Like the night and the day
Goes from waxing to waning
Till it’s all burned away
There’s a train at the station
With no one aboard
And the sky is the limit
And the world is yours
But life is unforgiving
It’s the devil you know
Too much heart to carry—alone
You and I, we are breathing
And we knew from the start
All that brings us together
Will surely tear us apart
World can be wicked
And love can be cruel
You may find your self falling
With nothing to hold on to
This life is unforgiving
But it’s the devil you know
Too much heart to cary—alone
You and I, we are breathing
And we knew from the start
All that brings us together
Will surly tear us apart
Tear us apart!
