Different Shades

from The Trials Of Henry (fdm154) by Chris Anderson

/

lyrics

walking through the mirror in the circus
what's your name?
i thought i saw a dozen sides of me
i'd never see again
sometimes i think about the way
i pushed 'em all aside
and then i cough and spit it out
at least a couple of times

oh my - define forever in your eyes
too high - we're flying off the grid
sometimes i need you now

ring the bell and sound it out
the pipers never cease
to satisfy me when i think
that i never can be pleased
i fold my hands and wait it out
the coming of the shade
for a moment maybe you and i
can think we've got it made

oh why - does it remind me of the rain
it's no lie - i lived to tell about it
now i need you now

steady for a moment til the smoke has cleared away
what's left is a reminder of that never-ending day
below my feet, the ground has several
stories left to tell
but still i can't shake off the way my spirit fell

away - sometimes i need to hide away
some day we'll laugh it off and move out of the way
and play this silly game we all are prone to play
what can ya say? it's all between the moments
that i need you most of all
