Jen Schaffer and the Shiners

Lyrics

A golden shadow cast
A glimpse of joys past
Obscured by pain
Easier to name
Then a laughter that didn’t last

A golden pallor, hue
That calls the light to come renew
But darkness too
Must have it’s due
To clear all the blighted sight
There’s room enough for two

Can you let the child come through
Disassociate from the blues
Can you let your smiles be true
Can you contemplate being you

A golden shadow lasts
It fills our emptied glass
With memories neat
And savors sweet
That’ll temper any task

A golden bough will do
To gain a passage through
The tortured stains
Scarred remains
And even Hades too
There’s room enough for you

Can you let the child come through
Disassociate from the blues
Can you let your smiles be true
Can you contemplate being you
