In the Shadow of Lingshan
by Bob Eschenbrenner she says I'd like to take a walk on this path and melt into this scene where nature ends and art begins and you feel you're in a dream what do you say care to go for a stroll down this deserted street then turning a corner I'm once again lost in childhood memories and I'm swallowed in the darkness in the shadow of Lingshan and I can't tell where the sky begins or where the mountain ends the owl waves his conductor's baton there's thunder from the mountain in the autumn sky a symphony awakens the sleeping dragon within the chaos of another day destiny silently waits and she gives you a pair of angel wings and sees to your escape I remember a broken hurt and the starwind in your eyes and the laughter in your voice and I remember crying tell me about the darkness she whispers in my ear tell me another story and take away my fear I tell her sometimes the river was black and sometimes it looked like diamonds but lost in the moment of witness you were the only thing on my mind and I'm swallowed in the darkness in the shadow of Lingshan and I can't tell where the sky begins or where the mountain ends the owl waves his conductor's baton there's thunder from the mountain in the autumn sky a symphony awakens the sleeping dragon the dawn's early light throws shadows the forest sings of dreams gone by the morning sun slowly rises and paints the clouds in the sky she says I'd like to take a walk on this path and melt into this scene where nature ends and art begins and you feel you're in a dream |
