Jumping My Shadow Lyrics - Skyclad

["And ever has it been that love knows not it's own depth] 

[until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran] 

Maybe someday someone will love me 

for what I am (instead of what I should be.) 

Until that day I'll just sit here weeping, 

chasing dreams is like shadow leaping. 

The face behind the mirror - an unrecognised reflection, 

his eyes look old and tired - filled with bitter recollection. 

The cross that he has carried was a burden I have made, 

It's a baptism of tears - they are the seas in which I bathe.

'Cause there's a fire in my heart - but I can't breathe for the smoke, 

seems that I'm living proof my life's a practical joke. 

There's a wind in my sails (but I have lost all my direction), 

with no stars to guide me now you're not here beside me anymore. 

Somehow, somewhere you will discover 

a love so sweet that it taste like no other, 

and on that day may you both drink deep 

from that grail we found - but then we failed to keep. 

It's a lesson I've learned well - some things just cannot be, 

the key that will unlock your soul is someone else (not me). 

But if you should remember - hope you smile and wish me well, 

as I walk my path to heaven through ten thousand miles of hell. 

I stand alone against the cold grey sky, 

it was blue that day (but not as blue as I). 

I left my hearts high on that Roman hill, 

I'll wait a thousand years but it will be there still.

Holding hands in silence as the day came to an end, 

we climbed up there as lovers - then we walked back down just friends. 

I've know my share of heartaches, never thought of them as bad - 

but had never quite imagined I could ever feel this sad.
