White Shadow

[Verse 1: Matthew Field, Msaki & Matthew Field]
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

[Chorus: Msaki]
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

[Post-Chorus: Msaki]
Stay, don't go
Stay, don't go
Stay, don't go
Stay, don't go
Stay

[Verse 2: Matthew Field, Msaki & Matthew Field]
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?

[Chorus: Msaki]
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

[Bridge: Msaki & Matthew Field, Matthew Field]
I take the white shadow from you
I give you what I can give you
I curse thе burden that's on you
But I can't take it away
Broken glass in thе 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

[Chorus: Msaki & Matthew Fields]
Don't sail away in your mind (In Los Angeles, in the Pyrenees)
Have you always been like this? (In the Andes, and 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 Johannesberg)
Great

[Outro: Msaki & Matthew Fields, Matthew Fields]
Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow
Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow (Your white shadow)
Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow
Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow (Your white shadow)
Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow
