Moonlight spills across the floor
No lamp on I need nothing more
Just the shape of you in the empty chair
And the quiet hum of the midnight air
My fingers rest on the guitar
A chord I learned to play so far
The strings are quiet waiting still
For someone who could break the chill
I wonder where you are tonight
If the stars above you burn as bright
If you're watching something on your TV screen
Curled up warm somewhere in between
Shadow dance on the wall
Flickers soft that's all
Every move you never made
Every word I never said
Lingers in the dusty light
Between the canvas and the night
Shadow dance let it stay
'Til the moon drifts away
There's a painting on the wall
Blue and green I can't recall
Who painted it or when it came
But it feels like your middle name
A lake at dusk a fading sun
The kind of stillness where I'd run
If I could reach the other side
Where you and the evening hide
I wonder what you're doing now
If you're wearing that same old gown
If your window catches fireflies
Lighting up your quiet eyes
Shadow dance on the wall
Flickers soft that's all
Every move you never made
Every word I never said
Lingers in the dusty light
Between the canvas and the night
Shadow dance let it stay
'Til the moon drifts away
I've never seen your room at night
But I've built it in my mind
Fireflies outside your window pane
And you're the center of the frame
I've never played for you before
But there's a song I'm saving
For when I walk up to your door
And the world goes quiet waiting
Shadow dance on the wall
Flickers soft won't fall
Every moment we never had
Every goodbye that turned to glad
Lingers in the evening glow
Between the real and what I know
Shadow dance let it be
All the things you are to me
