Mindy Gledhill - Shadow Children Lyrics






Far away in the light of day
when we as children played.
Prone to run in the setting sun
and slowly fade away.

Where, where did we go, oh
when we lost our shadows?
I'll fly through your window
if you tell me a story

of long lost boys and their wooden toys
and mermaids by the sea,
Pixie dust and a gust of wind
to sail us through our dreams.

Where, where did we go, oh
when we lost our shadows?
I'll fly through your window
if you tell me a story

of when we must all grow up
to the applause of society's mascarade.
I find it odd.

Where, where did we go, oh
when we lost our shadows?
I'll fly through your window
if you tell me a story now.

    Six years later and I'm still in love with her songs. I can't count how many times I've cried to these beautiful lyrics and her soft sweet voice. This is an artist who is truly passionate about their songs, so thank you, Mindy. Thank you for these beautiful songs.

    Strolling down memory lane while listening to all of my favorite songs. This album has been such a big part of my teenage years and I used to listen to it all the time. I can't believe it's been so long... time flies. But the music is timeless.

  14. s.... h....

    this makes me realise time passes by way too fast

    s.... h....

    it surely does... It's quite amazing how with music you can feel like you know it forever, but at the same time, have a feeling it was just yesterday when you discovered it.

  15. T.... k....

    Listening to this right after reading "The child Thief" hurts my heart so bad. This song is so lovely, yet sad and matches it perfectly

  16. J.... N....

    Taylor Swift sings songs about all her break up songs and win a whole bunch of awards
    Mindy has a voice of an angel but isn't even nationally famous. This society saddens me

    J.... N....

    Jasmine Nguyen sad peepee frog

  17. S.... C....

    My three year old falls asleep to this beautiful voice everynight. Good night from California

  18. I.... T....

    Peter! !Pan

  19. M.... F....

    Her voice makes me so happy and hopeful. All of her songs just take all the worry and stress out of my day and I am so happy to have discovered her. I absolutely love her.

  20. K.... V....

    She has such a unique approach to her songs that I have just fallen in love with. There isn't a song of hers I don't like. 

    K.... V....

    Lovely comment. Completely agree.

    K.... V....

    I totally agree

  21. K.... K....

  22. N.... Y....

    Crying T.T

  23. I.... B....

    Why isn't she popular yet? Not that I'm saying that she's not popular but, you know, known around the world is what I'm saying. 

    She's got real songs than most of popular songs this time. I want the whole world to know her, I just can't keep her talent. <3

    "Shadow Children"

    Far away in the light of day
    when we as children played.
    Prone to run in the setting sun
    and slowly fade away.

    Where, where did we go, oh
    when we lost our shadows?
    I'll fly through your window
    if you tell me a story

    of long lost boys and their wooden toys
    and mermaids by the sea,
    Pixie dust and a gust of wind
    to sail us through our dreams.

    Where, where did we go, oh
    when we lost our shadows?
    I'll fly through your window
    if you tell me a story

    of when we must all grow up
    to the applause of society's mascarade.
    I find it odd.

    Where, where did we go, oh
    when we lost our shadows?
    I'll fly through your window
    if you tell me a story now.

  25. T.... ....

    I'm going to sing this to my children when they cry one day.

    T.... ....

    Okayyyyy

  26. F.... ....

    this is so beautiful ; 0 ;

  27. X.... Y....

    my current favorite one

  28. d.... ....

    Proof that real music still exists...

  29. P.... V....

    I recently tumbled upon what I unfortunately had not found a while ago. I 100% credit Michelle Phan for her gracious actions of liking "Pocketful of Poetry." Your voice is legitimately mesmerizing. Never have I heard such clear passion for what an artist expresses through their lyrics, but then someone as wonderfully perfect as you decided to burst with a melodic voice. It's so soft, so sweet. I must commend you on this. I am now a huge fan. Just wow.

    P.... V....

    omg yes i found out mindy by michelle lols twins

    P.... V....

    yeah me too ^__^  @Michelle Mattos

    P.... V....

    Guess who is sadly discovering her now? Literally whenever I find something or someone amazing I’m always 3 or 4 years late. Either way, Miss Gledhill is now my new favorite singer.

  30. L.... Y....

    My favourite song off the album! Thank you <3

  31. T.... W....

    It would be amazing if disney made a princess based on mindy!!! :D

  32. M.... B....

    i love u mindy

  33. P.... K....

    i found what was missing in my life...your songs !!

  34. c.... 9....

    Breathtaking.

  35. 1.... ....

    I love that she has this theme of Neverland, a place where you stay young and innocent, where your love stays young and innocent. And it's cute that she mentions Neverland in this song from her new album "A Pocketful of Poetry" as well as in "Hourglass" from "Anchor". She's a remarkable woman.

  36. k.... m....

    favorite song in your album. i love this very much! greetings from Philippines!

  37. M.... ....

    ¡Qué bo.ni.ta! Greetings from Spain. (Irene)

  38. T.... ....

    So heartbreakingly beautiful.

  39. p.... ....

    Well said Enoch, well said. That's why I quit listening to the radio. The stations i used to listen to constantly repeat the auto-tune fast beat music and I realized they don't play slow paced, soft-hearted music anymore.

  40. J.... ....

    beautiful :)

  41. k.... ....

    Best song in your album. This makes me want to cry, and want me to go back to being a kid again. Nice strings! You never fail to amuse me. Please come to Philippines soon!

  42. m.... d....

    Special to me because its simply amazing. Keep up the great work! I'm in tearS!

  43. i.... ....

    Another superb piece Mindy! So delightful.

  44. A.... J....

    i don't think the cover art does you justice

  45. S.... B....

    We hope we will get to meet you someday! We live in St.George, Utah Please let us know if you ever come to our town! We love you and your music sooooo much! We have almost all your song memorized! :)

  46. S.... B....

    We love you Mindy :)

  47. J.... ....

    This song is beautiful

  48. L.... B....

    My friend has been listening to you for a while. He told me about you and I'm hooked. Your music is beautiful and fantastic. I absolutely adore this song. You're wonderful!

  49. S.... ....

    beautiful <3 fave song on your album so far, I just know this song will be on repeat for me for a while

  50. S.... ....

    Beautiful

  51. E.... Y....

    In a decade of ever increasing bass heavy, beat-centric and subwoofer reliant music, an industry saturated with auto-tune and unnecessarily digitized vocals, oh what a relief to hear a clear melody sung by the natural human voice accompanied by cellos, pianos, guitars, and the natural host of instruments. Thank you Mindy for reminding us of what beautiful music is. This song is productively reminiscent, not just through its lyrics, but also its musicality.

  52. b.... ....

    Beautiful song and voice! Thanks for the memories of youth.

  53. C.... G....

    Just the first 10 seconds, the background music already made me tear up.. then the lyrics... then the beautiful strings:') Missing my childhood so much...

  54. s.... ....

    as always.. :')
