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.
