about

Another great Nez track.. I ran with it.
It's the last time I'll ever mention her again.

lyrics

BOXING SHADOWS

It doesn’t seem that long ago she had you up against the ropes
Your heartbeat matching hers pound for pound
But she dropped you in the second round
And you can’t seem to get back up and after all this
Time is the healer but it's not time yet
She’s on the sidewalk like a shillouette
And every time the sun come out a bell rings in your head

Boxing shadows of her
Take your best swing get back in the corner now you're
Boxing shadows of her
You’ll forget her yet you can’t forgive her
Cause you’re boxing shadows of her

Memories rushing out
Boxing shadows of doubt
Kick you when you’re down
Boxing shadows about
Boxing shadows now
Boxing of shadow of her
Oh yeah, oh no, yeah

A sucker punch but you were in the right
All you wanted was a good clean fight
She bobs and weaves and lies and pulls your hair
The awful truth is that she isn’t there
And it’s so easy to forget
To forgive divine intervention
But she’s not done yet
She’s on the sidewalk like a cigarette
And every she puts you out a bell rings in your head

Boxing shadows of her
Take your best swing get back in the corner, now you’re
Boxing shadows of her
You’ll forget her yet you can’t forgive her
Cause you’re boxing shadows of her

Memories rushing out
Boxing shadows of doubt
Kick you when you’re down
Boxing shadows about
Boxing shadows now
Boxing of shadow of her

COSMOLOGICA
by Circe Link and Christian Nesmith

supported by 18 fans who also own “Boxing Shadows”

Prog-rock at its most beautiful. Link's singing is clear, lovely, energetic, and sometimes arranged in great auto-harmonies; Nesmith's arrangements are virtuosic but fluid and spacious, and respect a great prog riff. Like early Dream Theater with folk instead of metal? Sandy Denny's Fairport Convention going prog? Maybe... voxpoptart
