lyrics

Don't cast shadows on me, Mary
Don't cast shadows on me, Mary
She flowers towards me
in a spiral of daggers
Unfold delicate and dangerous
Blood red flowing, eyes cast dour

And Autumn rests upon her head
like thorny crown with fingers dead
all wrapped around and spirit stained
like Jesus chains, like Jesus chains

Don't cast shadows on me, Mary
Don't cast shadows on me, Mary
She comes up behind me
in a forest of angels
Glowing alabaster sunrise
Growing dark behind her figure

She follows me through foggy mist
in spirit flow she sweeps her ghost
through hollow chasms 'neath the trees
she's haunting me, she's haunting me

Don't cast shadows on me, Mary
Don't cast shadows on me, Mary
