The Shadow-lover Lyrics - Singles - Heather Alexander

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.
