"Break me down like the quiet part of a song..." (OTR)

Sometimes the weight of an entire day can be summed up in one song:

"Have you ever been haunted the way I’ve been by you?
And have you ever felt the measure of the days that I’ve spent waiting, pining for you?
I can’t see the sun for the daylight;
I can’t feel your breath for the wind.
I don’t want to step from these shadows
Till you’re comin back again.
I’ve dammed the emotions to keep my lanterns lit;
I’m shaken by this longing coursing through my veins.
In my mind I can’t make sense of it.
I get so used to these shadows;
Will you chase away these shadows when you come back again?"
