heather alexander – the shadow-lover lyrics
shadow-lover, never seen by day,
only deep in deams do you appear
wisdom tells me i should turn away,
love of mist and shadows, all unclear-
nothing can i hold of you but thought
shadow-lover mist and twilight wrought.
shadow-lover, comfort me in pain.
love, although i never see you face,
all who’d have me fear you speek in vain-
never would i shrink from your embrace
shadow-lover, gentle is your hand
never could another understand.
shadow-lover, soothe me when i mourn
mourn for all who left me here alone,
when my grief is too much to be borne,
when my burdens crushing-great have grown,
shadow-lover, i cannot forget-
help me bear the burdens i have yet.
shadow-lover, you alone can know
how i long to reach a point of peace
how i fade with weariness and woe
how i long for you to bring release.
shadow-lover, court me in my dreams
bring the peace that suffering redeems.
shadow-lover, from the shadows made,
lead me into shadows once again.
where you lead i cannot be afraid,
for with you i shall come home again-
in your arms i shall not fear the night.
shadow-lover, lead me into light.
