Leaving Shadows
Wilco

Verse 1:
In the morning light, I packed my dreams,
Left them on the floor, or so it seems.
Whispers in the breeze, your name still calls,
Every echo in the night, inside these walls.

Chorus:
Oh, I’m dancing with shadows, haunted by your grace,
In the spaces between us, I've lost my place.
Every road I've traveled, every step away,
Is a heavy burden that shadows turn to gray.

Verse 2:
City lights flicker, like thoughts of you,
With every passing street, skies turn blue.
But the stars don’t shine like your eyes did then,
Counted lost wishes, won't see you again.

Chorus:
Oh, I’m dancing with shadows, haunted by your grace,
In the spaces between us, I've lost my place.
Every road I've traveled, every step away,
Is a heavy burden that shadows turn to gray.

Bridge:
I wrote your name in the clouds above,
Hoping they'd rain down some forgotten love.
But the winds of change swept my heart away,
Left me with echoes that yearn and sway.

Verse 3:
Now the silence wraps around my soul,
Each memory’s a story that takes its toll.
Like a ghost in this house where you used to laugh,
Tracing the outlines of our photograph.

Chorus:
Oh, I’m dancing with shadows, haunted by your grace,
In the spaces between us, I've lost my place.
Every road I've traveled, every step away,
Is a heavy burden that shadows turn to gray.

Outro:
So I sit in this twilight, where whispers fade,
Wondering still, was it worth that trade?
As the sun sets low, and my tears fall down,
In the shadow of regret, I wear your crown.
