Long shadows

 Long shadows

Long shadows

That fall across the field

When the blazing sun bows down to kneel

On the brow of the hill

Where Abraham brought Isaac

A son he would've killed

Long shadows, long shadows

But we have only begun

The slaughter house squealed

The dogs lost their bark

The trees they all peeled

As the day turned to dark

Long shadows

They fell from the sky

Like a lark

Long shadows

Long shadows

Cast by Noah's Ark

The Sea flood rises

And the oceans they broil

The sailors are drowned

Despite their hard toil

No mountains surrounded

No trees hanging low

But long shadows

Long shadows

Where did they go?

Just then the shadow

Of a wandering dove

Came dropping its parcel

Of heavenly love

An olive branch was offered

and Noah gripped it tight

Like long shadows

Long shadows that turn into night

Oh they sailed their ship on

Down through the strait

And the seas they receeded

And they arrived at the gate

A new Eden was breeded

And it was not too late

For long shadows,

Long shadows they marked out no fate

Only the will

To be rid of the past

To turn over new leaves

To smell the fresh grass

Of hillside as green and 

as lush it could last

While long shadows

Long shadows

The sun no longer cast
