Part Shadow Lyrics

Winter's cold, like his hands

But she is warm like Egyptian sands

Breezes drifting through my dreams

She wanders the marshes behind the wood

Collecting mushroom for her food

I search for her

But he follows

And then he calls for me

And he tells me where I belong

And then I call for her

But she is long gone

These days it's hard

To escape from the wheel

But I'm sure I can hear her

When I pray and kneel

Singing behind the abbey walls

I imagine her there

With her glorious hair

Tying it around, and around, and around, and around, and around

The golden roses

And then he calls for me

And he tells me where I belong

And then I call for her

But she is long gone

But I find her foot-prints

When I awake

And I'm sure I've seen her bathing

In the lily lake

I tell myself she is part shadow

And I've never been able to make it heard

No, I've never been able to speak a word

I've always been so shy

But still, I call for her

At night

He says I'm foolish

Like a bird without flight

Soon I will be dead

And my hair will be black

They'll dig a hole and bury me

Upon my back

And he won't call for me

And maybe I'll be free

But still I'll call for her

And maybe

And maybe

And maybe, she'll come to me
