underneath the shade
by jeff semple
keep me underneath the shade
protected from all the hate
so that i can serenade
without the noise
the glass walls begin to break
the open room is more than i can take
what will become of the window pane
without a voice
everyone is coming this way
everyone is coming this way
reach through the broken space
touch the cracks on the slate
it's been so long since it's looked this way
heal the sores
lift my eyes to see the place
the place we saw the other day
the place you said they couldn't take
so much more
everyone is coming this way
everyone is coming this way
i didn't notice the black rain
it came as a silent pain
though now it has gone away
a closed door
today is a new day
yesterday has no more to say
i'll stay underneath the shade
just like before
everyone is coming this way
everyone is coming this way
