Song Description

dark song about a dark relationship

Lyrics

Eclipsed
Words and Music By The Woodmen

Verse 1
The distance between us
is growing every day
tomorrow she?s leaving
to find another way

shadow cuts across
the sunlit moon
(eclipses me)
All of this was over
Much too soon
(no time to grieve)

Verse 2
The whistle is whining
It calls the coming night
And beckons my lover
To take her lonesome flight

Train tracks point the ways
To parts unknown
(I can?t make sense)
Bring her to a place
Where I can go
(I must confess)

Verse 3
Surrender was sweetest
When no one had to lose
She gave up on waiting
For what I couldn?t choose

She?ll run the field alone
Without me now
(and won?t return)
Thoughts of her
Will echo in my mind
(what have I learned?)

Lead Guitar

Verse 4
Eclipsed in the vision
The two of use once shared
Leaves nothing but darkness
Into which I stare

I stumble now
Where we once walked
(this empty street)
Pounding in my head
And all I hear
(footsteps repeat)




Bridge
My body aches since I?ve been kicked
This golden ring from my hand slips
When she is gone will be missed?
One life, one love
It stands eclipsed

Epilogue
Shadow cuts across
The sunlit moon
(eclipses me)
All of this was over
Much too soon
(no time to grieve)
I believe . . . (footsteps repeat)
