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
