Jumping My Shadow lyrics

["And ever has it been that love knows not it`s own depth]

[until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran]



Maybe someday someone will love me

for what I am (instead of what I should be.)

Until that day I`ll just sit here weeping,

chasing dreams is like shadow leaping.



The face behind the mirror - an unrecognised reflection,

his eyes look old and tired - filled with bitter recollection.

The cross that he has carried was a burden I have made,

It`s a baptism of tears - they are the seas in which I bathe.



`Cause there`s a fire in my heart - but I can`t breathe for the smoke,

seems that I`m living proof my life`s a practical joke.

There`s a wind in my sails (but I have lost all my direction),

with no stars to guide me now you`re not here beside me anymore.



Somehow, somewhere you will discover

a love so sweet that it tasted like no other,

and on that day may you both drink deep

from that grail we found - but then failed to keep.



It`s a season I`ve learned well - some things just cannot be,

the key that will unlock your soul is someone else (not me).

If you should remember - hope you smile and wish me well,

as I walk my path to heaven through ten thousand miles of hell.



I stand alone against the cold grey sky,

it was blue that day (but not as blue as I).

I left my hearts high on that Roman hill,

I`ll wait a thousand years but it will be there still.



Holding hands in silence as the day came to an end,

we climbed up there as lovers - then we walked back down just friends.

I`ve know my share of heartaches, never thought of them as bad -

but had never quite imagined I could ever feel this sad.
