The Love of the Shadow an his dove

The Love of the Shadow and his

There's a shadow over there
It has more than it can bear
Its the shadow over you
Why's the shadow so blue
This shadow has a love
Always faithful always true

Its a shadow of feeling
With depth and alive
This love is so real,
If I could hold you,
Your presence to revive,

You’re as allusive,
Evasive as though you were air
If I could hold you close,
To take you away
We will both be there
In our secret place, in
The darkness our love
To share

Trapped are the shadow and his love,
As a reflection and its dove
For a reflection is all they may see
Always together, two halves of a whole
In this connection together they may be
Yet trapped they remain
Always faithful always true

Never to fly wild and free
They are trapped
To the mirror that reflects them.

Until away goes the night
Nixed no more is the shadow
Now to finally take flight
Together now is the shadow and his vixen
Always faithful always true
Until away goes the day
And the shadow must fade
Back to the mirror he is bade

So saddened is his love
So hurt by his retreat
She must fly now with such sorrow
For she may not see him till tomorrow
The shadow knows his retreat
Brings his love such grief
This is why the shadows so blue
This is the load that shadow cannot bear
But their love may remain
Always faithful always true
There love may dwell in sorrow
But never in vain
For along with night goes her sorrow
Thereof her love comes with the morrow
