“Into the Shade” by Alec Delphenich (2004)

An autumn-like night lets me rest my eyes for a while
Now I feel so strong
Enough to say, “I wouldn’t mind if it rained all day.”
I feel that good

In a delicate tone I make my presence known with a yawn
I can’t help but laugh
I reach out my limbs and wait for the wind to bring them
Back to me

And isn’t it funny
How it all seems to fade
One season into the next one
Out of the light and into the shade

I’ve been thinking about the times that I’ve been without time
I never needed that watch
I’d rather be lost in the sky than watching seconds roll bye
Beneath a plate of glass

The sun goes down
And the moon I can touch
One day into the next one
I was looking out now I’m looking up

And isn’t it funny
How it all seems to fade
One season into the next one
Out of the light and into the shade
