White Shadow Waltz Lyrics - I Am Very Far - Okkervil River

Abandoned by all her admirers 

Wild White Shadow Waltz 

Stands alone on a stair down the hall 

Just one slip from a trip and a fall 

In a cold morning, holding her lighter 

Wan White Shadow Waltz 

Stirs, sputters and stalls 

Wakes, wavers and walks right through her prison walls 

She says, ["The doorbell is ringing.Go see who it is.Our little island's sinking into mist..."]

A day came, a night went, it lightened 

An animal broke his way out 

Moped through the scattering crowd 

And crawled back to his circus shell 

And circling the zoo's screaming clients 

Was White Shadow Waltz 

Deaf to their torn breaths and calls 

Wait, take a look closer... hey, he's hardly moving at all 

She says, ["There's someone is knocking.Go see who it is.Our little world is shaking... I guess our little world is breaking..."]

In the presence of all our despisers 

We'll falter and crawl to the bed 

The world is a black shadow bled 

And what is this tune in my head? 

She says: 

["It's just the white wind when it whimpers.It's just the black rain when it squalls.It's just white meat whistling a waltz.It's just nine hands wiping a white shadow off of the walls."]
