Lyrics Shadows of Night - Argyle Goolsby

Shadows of Night

September pressed her muscles deep into August’s heart
Compressed her summer wings until they splintered cold, and sharp
That season brings a maiden raven haired.
Spinning in failed attempts
To free herself from despair
I wanted her madly, but sadly she belonged to the shadows of night
To the shadows of night…
A loose thread of stars sewed up the night in cryptic patterns of light
The moon cast an ether glow upon her face.
I watched it trace
Her hollow outline like the hands of a gifted God
I wanted her madly, but sadly she belonged to the shadows of night
Betrothed to borders.
Blind to me
Her reed-like movements will await the beast so limitless and free
In the shadows of night
