[Verse]
G
Abandoned by all her admirers
Bm
Wild white shadow waltz
C
Stands alone on a stair down the hall
Am D
Just one slip from a trip and a fall.
[Verse]
G
In a cold morning holding her lighter
Bm
One white shadow waltz
C
Stirs, sputters and stalls
Am D Bm
Wakes, wavers, and walks right through her prison walls.
[Bridge]
Bm Bm F#
She says the doorbell is ringing
F# F# A
Go see who it is
A
Our little island's sinking into
Em
Mist.
[Verse]
G
A day came, a night went, it lightened
Bm
An animal broke his way out
C
Moped through a scattering crowd
Am D
And crawled back to his circus shell.
[Verse]
G
And circling the zoo's screaming clients
Bm
Was white shadow waltz
C
Deaf to their torn breaths and calls
Am D G
Wait take a look closer hey he's hardly moving at all.
[Bridge]
Bm Bm F#
She says there's someone knocking
F# F# A
Go see who it is
A
Our world is shaking I guess
Em
Our little world is breaking in the
[Verse]
G
Presence of all our despisers
Bm
We'll falter and crawl into our bed
C
The world is a black shadow bled
Am D
And what is this tune in my head?
[Outro]
G
She says it's just the white wind when it whimpers
Bm
And it's just the black rain when it squalls
C
It's just white meat whistling a waltz
Am D G
It's just nine hands wiping a white shadow off of the walls.
