Msaki and Beatenberg - White Shadow

I spend most of my time
Tryna work out what I'm going to say
For example, today
I did not leave the house
And I wrote to people far away
Hours away

Don't sail away in your mind
Have you always been like this?
Conspiring with lightning?
Don't fade away
You're on the brink of something great

Stay
Don't go
Stay
Don't go
Stay
Don't go
Stay
Don't go
Stay

I spent most of the night
Tryna take back all the time that it took
In a borrowed book
I write things in the margins
That you wouldn't understand if you looked
But why would you look?

Don't sail away in your mind
Have you always been like this?
Conspiring with lightning?
Don't fade away
You're on the brink of something great
Great

I take the white shadow from you
I give you what I can give you
I curse the burden that's on you
But I can't take it away
Broken glass in the river
Reflects a crumblin' pillar
Break the branch that is withered
Cut it into somethin'
Turn the wheel of tomorrow
As you lie dreamin' in the grass
Decant all of your sorrow
Into a clearer glass

Endless soul, unbending light
Already whole, all is right

Don't sail away in your mind (in Los Angeles, in the Pyrenees)
Have you always been like this? (In the Andes, in the Himalayas)
Conspiring with lightning? (In the Cederberg)
Don't fade away (There's a weaver bird)
You're on the brink of something great (there's a pigeon on a building in Johannesburg)
Great

Your white shadow
I'm in your white shadow
Your white shadow
I'm in your white shadow
Your white shadow
I'm in your white shadow
Your white shadow
I'm in your white shadow
Your white shadow
I'm in your white shadow
