Lyrics for Song: No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross
Lyrics for Album: Carrie & Lowell [2015]
Now that I fell, into your arms
My only lover, give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost.
Drag me to hell in the valley of the dead,
Like my mother, give wings to a stone.
It's only the shadow of the cross.
I slept on my back, in the shade of the meadowlark.
Like a champion, get drunk to get laid.
I take one more hit when you depart.
I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart.
Lonely vampire, inhaling its fire.
I'm chasing the dragon too far.
There's blood on that blade.
Fuck me, I'm falling apart.
My assassin, like Casper the ghost.
There's no shade in the shadow of the cross.
