In the light that pierced your shade
And shone through your window
I saw the tricks the shadows played
Above your bureau
I could have sworn I saw a dancer
Take an unplanned fall
But it was only the way the sunlight
Danced on your bedroom wall
I could have sworn I saw an army
Marching off to war
But it was only the way the shadows
Marched across your floor
I could have sworn I saw the New Jerusalem
Coming down in all her glory
But it was only the way the shadows
Filled their territory
Oh oh yeah
Oh oh yeah
In the light that pierced your shade
And shone through your window
I saw the tricks the shadows played
Above your bureau
Oh oh shadows
Oh oh shadows
Oh oh shadows
Oh oh shadows
