Shadow, Sylvia Plath

[Verse] Shadow moving through the night Fills the spaces out of sight In the corners hides away Under houses there it stays [Verse 2] In the drawers and closets bare In the suitcase packed with care Behind smiles it softly creeps In the dark it always sleeps [Chorus] Miles and miles of shadow's reach On the night side long and deep Every corner every place Casting darkness on each face [Verse 3] Under trees and under stones Shadow finds its quiet home In the heart it makes its stay Never leaves just fades away [Verse 4] Peeking from the back of eyes Lurking when the daylight dies Shadow whispers words untold Tales of secrets darkness holds [Chorus] Miles and miles of shadow's reach On the night side long and deep Every corner every place Casting darkness on each face
