Shadows dance upon the earth Under yews and pines In the shape of birds Circling northern skies I swear I doubt I'll ever learn to love again Meanwhile I'll try to be a better man Meanwhile I'll try to be a better man Shadows dance beneath my eyes Absorbing all your fears Still biding their time Until the rush of tears I swear I doubt I'll ever learn to love again Meanwhile I'll try to be a better man Meanwhile I'll try to be a better man I follow blindly whoever loves All the tiny birds above Yes, I'm blinded and simple minded But I change my ways every time Shadows dance around my room Crossing wall and roof Ghostly shapes on brooms In late hour's gloom I swear I doubt I'll ever learn to love again Meanwhile I'll try to be a better man Meanwhile I'll try to be a better man I follow blindly whoever loves All the tiny birds above Yes, I'm blinded and simple minded But I change my ways every time
