Laura Gibson – Shadows On Parade Lyrics

I have carried beasts of many seasons
Their bullied bodies burdening my spine
When your eyes come rushing up to greet them
I cast them off to keep them in my sight

I would watch their shadows on parade

I've been chasing clouds of many colors
Their blurry bodies I have claimed my own
Carried by the wind that took our fathers
Captive to their cautionary words

I could see their shadows on parade

I will hold my days in moving pictures
And carry their impressions in my eyes
And with my body swaying like a drunkard
I'll cast them out to keep them in my sight

I will watch their shadows on parade
Shadows on parade
Again and again
