Lyric

By the time my shadow reaches where you are

The sun will fade and become a falling star

The daylight’s dying, as the dusk begins to fall

I’m leaning softly against the garden wall

Sighs and heavy breathing, spilling from my soul

Drowning in the darkness, losing all control

Melting in the midnight, dissolving in the deep

Secrets of the lovers that the night is forced to keep

If the clouds should open, if the sky should part

Let the silver moonlight guide my lonely heart

Through the silver gateway, through the narrow space

Leading me directly to your warm embrace

A fleeting rendezvous in the middle of the night

Waiting for a glimmer of a pale and ghostly light

How much longer can I stand and wait for you?

In the velvet shadows, where the dreams are coming true

Just a moment together, before the dawn appears

Washing out the sorrow and the salt of all the years

I’m searching for your shadow, where could it be hid?

Haunted by the shadows of the things we never did

Every little sound is a thunder in my ear

Startled by the silence and the presence of my fear

A single tear is falling, spilling in the dark

Searching for a fire, searching for a spark

But when I look above me, the starlight is so kind

A gentle reassurance for a troubled mind

If we finally meet, if I find you there

I’ll hold you so tightly through the chilly air

Let the tiny diamonds in the heaven’s black

Show me that there’s never any turning back

Even in the blackness, there’s a soft and subtle glow

The reflection of the spirit on the cold and silent snow

I can see a shadow moving on the white

A flickering of life in the middle of the night

A fleeting rendezvous in the middle of the night

Waiting for a glimmer of a pale and ghostly light

How much longer can I stand and wait for you?

In the velvet shadows, where the dreams are coming true

Our shadows are meeting

Two become one

Guided by the moon

Guided by the snow

Entwined together

Until the sun
