Shimmer
Jarboe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come morocco night
The sand is as white
As the moon is bright .
Like birds in flight
Soaring high
We're lost in the light
Come morocco night,
You shimmer.
You're shimmering.
You shimmer.




You're shimmering,
Lost in the light.
