Shadow Ball
(Brian Dilts)

Music and lyrics by Brian Dilts
Shadow Shadow on the wall
Playing light against the dark
How have you carried me this far?
Falling leaves out in the yard
As the summer changed to fall
Wishing on a firefly in a jar
And I’m waiting waiting for your call
I feel I’m playing shadow ball
Wondering if my love matters at all
Shadow ball
A circle and a square
The tortoise and the hare
No matter where you go I will be there
Smitten smitten for your love
I could not ever get enough
Like a kitten with an endless ball of yarn
Still the same as it was then
I love you so until the end
When you’re with me I cannot pretend
That our love isn’t there
Despite the differences we share
You can’t fool me I know you care
We’re a circle and a square
The tortoise and the hare
But no matter where you go I’ll still be there
And I’m smitten smitten for your love
I cannot ever get enough
Like a kitten with an endless ball of yarn
Waiting waiting for your call
Like I’m playing shadow ball
Waiting as the winter chases the fall
Shadow ball
shadow ball
