To Starsinger - Shadowdancer′s Lament

Words and Music: Aryana



Dark is the night, deeper the shadows fall
While I keep watch over you and your love.
Here I sit and look at you,
Drowning in you amber eyes,
While my soul cries out for you,
You lie in another′s arms.

Dark is the night, deep now the shadows fall
And my heart yearns for your love, for being free.
Here I fight the weakness down,
recognition′s pain and strife,
while my soul cries out for you,
you lie in another′s arms.

Dark is the night, shades cover stars with veils,
while in midnight drowns my soul, I keep my watch.
I know this pain is ever near,
there′s no healing, no relief
while my soul cries out for you,
you lie in my brother′s arms.

Dawns now the morning bright, I see the world awake,
your smile and amber eyes piercing my heart.
Here I sit and smile at you,
While I watch you smile at him,
Though my soul cries out for you
I know I will let you go.

Night turns to day, time restless flees away,
While I keep my watch over you and your love.
And I wrestle down the pain,
Hope that someday it will end,
Soul meets soul when eye meets eye,
I pray you will understand...
