Lyrics by Kenton Hall
Music by Kenton Hall, Mark Haynes & Chris Ilett

lyrics

It wasn't even raining
The night the bulb blew
There wasn't even wine upon her breath
No adolescent fumbling
At the buttons on her coat
Just silence and the opposite of death

But she sang
Oh, she sang
She sang in the shadows
Yes, she sang
Oh how she sang
She sang in the shadows

It was the beginning
Of a story to replace
The one who's final page had been torn out
No sorrow underpinning
The resumption of regret
No stirrings in the souls of the devout

Still she sang
Oh, she sang
She sang in the shadows
Yes, she sang
Oh, how she sang
She sang in the shadows

Perfect
And private
And stolen
This lack
Of anyone
To whom she is beholden

It wasn't really anything
That she'd write home about
There would be too many details to redact
But it was what she needed
And she found it in
The breath between the impulse and the act

When she sang
Oh, how she sang
She sang in the shadows
Yes, she sang
Oh, how she sang
She sang in the shadows
Yes, she sang
Oh, how she sang
She sang in the shadows
Yes, she sang
Oh, how she sang
She sang in the shadows
