You won't love me 'til you're lonely
You won't see me 'til you know
You won't know me 'til you're ready
You won't be ready 'til you grow
In the daylight I am open
Floating light and free and true
Chasing after your shadows
Just to get closer to you
But when the sun's descended
And your shadow is no more
I'm down on my hands and knees
Groping and the frigid floor
I'm reaching out to touch you
Though you don't know I'm around
So I'll just wait until your ready
And caress your shadow from the ground

You won't love me 'til you're lonely
You won't see me 'til you know
You won't know me 'til you're ready
You won't be ready 'til you grow
In the daylight I am open
Floating light and free and true
Chasing after your shadows
Just to get closer to you
But when the sun's descended
And your shadow is no more
I'm down on my hands and knees
Groping and the frigid floor
I'm reaching out to touch you
Though you don't know I'm around
So I'll just wait until your ready
And caress your shadow from the ground
