George Barbera - Shigawire Lyrics

Beyond this blue shoreline
To white mountains so far away
A smooth ocean, train gliding
To send spirits home from their day

Small houses, passing islands
Gentle waves reaching their shores
Silent lawns, empty benches
Six stations, then we may pause

Vague feeling like I'd known this one before
A half remembered subtle thing
The sun streams in
Warm breezes
Young evening
Blush sweetly

Shadow people shrouding the platform slowly dissipate
Into realms where shadows go when daylight grows heavy

All land is just an island
Gentle waves reaching its shore
Silent lawns, empty windows
Six stations, then we may pause

The sky is burning out now
Reflections touched by stars
Look at me
Neon
Lights the way
Through the night

Take my hand, you'll be alright
No shadow's lonely when it reaches the night

Will you help me overcome my fear
Be there when it's near
I hope it's far off
Some distant summer evening as the colors start to fade
The shigawire breaks

Take my hand and walk with me
In the twilight in between
And we shall pass beyond the sea
But now lay your head and go to sleep

Do I love another
To cease my emptiness
Do I confide beauty
To ease my loneliness
Is consciousness borrowed
By minds that are compatible
Does it transcend or just exist in my head
To cease my emptiness

Beyond this blue shoreline
To white mountains so far away
A smooth ocean train, gliding
To send spirits on their way
