Andrew Calhoun - Shadow of a Wing

Shadow of a Wing

Rain steady falling
Through the stretches of the night,
Like something silent calling
From the darkness to the light;
But as for dark or light, love,
Well you are neither way.
I've learned to live without you,
And to hold you anyway.

A bluejay's in the garden, love,
The old sun in the sky;
There's someone come to ring the bell
And show me how to fly,
There's someone comes with brandy,
Just as morning breaks;
I keep a shot-glass handy,
I know just what it takes.

A toast to bear the Winter, love,
A toast to cheer the Spring;
May the darkness that you walk in
Be the shadow of a wing;
All waters find the heavens, love,
And fall to rise again;
This rain whispers the reason
Why the calling never ends.
