Silhouette

Chris Whitley


Telling your future 
tell your past 
give you forever 
where nothing could last 
when shadows have sifted 
the last etiquette 
she may decipher 
your soul's silhouette 

I can remember 
you laid me down 
taking me in sight and sound 
the look on your face 
I never forget 
shine of your skin 
a soul's silhouette 

As you lay dreaming 
all logic is lost 
your system steaming 
the change of guard 
in shadows and secret 
insurgent assent 
my favorite aroma 
your soul's silhouette
