Paroles de The shadow-lover

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.
