lirik lagu okkervil river - white shadow waltz
abandoned by all her admirers
wild white shadow waltz
stands alone on a stair down the hall
just one slip from a trip and a fall
in a cold morning, holding her lighter
wan white shadow waltz
stirs, sputters and stalls
wakes, wavers and walks right through her prison walls
she says, [“the doorbell is ringing.go see who it is.our little island’s sinking into mist…”]
a day came, a night went, it lightened
an animal broke his way out
moped through the scattering crowd
and crawled back to his circus sh-ll
and circling the zoo’s screaming clients
was white shadow waltz
deaf to their torn breaths and calls
wait, take a look closer… hey, he’s hardly moving at all
she says, [“there’s someone is knocking.go see who it is.our little world is shaking… i guess our little world is breaking…”]
in the presence of all our despisers
we’ll falter and crawl to the bed
the world is a black shadow bled
and what is this tune in my head?
she says:
[“it’s just the white wind when it whimpers.it’s just the black rain when it squalls.it’s just white meat whistling a waltz.it’s just nine hands wiping a white shadow off of the walls.”]
