La Part D'ombre

A weathered bench by the sea
I sit down to look ahead
To feel, to keep quiet
Listening to the secrets of the wind

That's when she stepped forward
She sat down right next to me
With a confident air, she introduced herself
I’m your shadow part, remember me

Oh, that night, at the edge of mystery
Heads or tails
My part of peace and my part of war
Faced each other head-on

Too long in pain
They ruled against each other
Too much excess, too much fear
What if tonight they found common ground?

My shadow part had returned
Was she here to negotiate?
For a long time, I believed
She’d eventually get tired of me

This wounded part, from now on
I hold her gently in my arms
I no longer hear the sound of the wind
Now I hear my heart beating

Oh, that night, at the edge of mystery
Heads or tails
My part of peace and my part of war
Faced each other head-on

Too long in pain
They ruled against each other
Too much excess, too much fear
What if tonight they found common ground?

I am the day just like the night
I feel this need for balance
The warmth is the rain
Silence is the noise

Between shadow and light, I feel alive

A weathered bench by the sea
I sit down to look ahead
To feel, to keep quiet
Listening to the secrets of the wind

That's when she stepped forward
To sit down right there
I was the one who spoke to her
I’m your light part, remember me.
