What has touched me reaching deep?

Piercing my ensorcelled sleep

Darkling lady do you weep?

What is the cause of your grieving



Why do tears of balm and bane

Bathe my heart in bitter rain

What is this longing? Why this pain?

What is this spell you are weaving



Sunlight singer, morning's peer

How I long for what I fear

Not by my will are you hear

How I wish I could free you



Gladly in your arms I'd lie

But I dare not come you nigh

For if you touch me I shall die

If I were wise I would flee you



Shadow dancer, dark and fair

Lady that I love too well

Won't you free me from the spell

That you have cast around me



Star-eyed maid beyond compare

Mists of twilight in your hair

Why must you be so sweet and fair

How is it that you have bound me



In your eyes your soul lies bare

Hope is mingled with despair

Sun-moon lover do I dare

Trust my heart till keeping



Sunrise means that I must flee

Moonrise steels your soul from me

Nothing behind us but agony

Nothing before us but weeping



Sun and Shadow, dark and light

Child of day and child of night

Who can set our tale aright?

Is there no future but sorrow...



Will some power hear our plea

Take the curse from you and me

Grant is peace or set is free

Dare we to hope for tomorrow?

Is there no future but sorrow?

Shadow-Lover, never seen by day,

Only deep in dreams 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 speak 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.
