Sandra Feldman - Shadow

Let me embrace you in the night,
When all love is at it's height,
In renewed and poignant might,
Heart of Hearts, Human Delight.

Life, a mystery afar,
A surprising, falling star,
In my arms, I will embrace,
Just a Shadow, not a face.

For my Love has gone to Sea,
And no longer is with me,
Thousand daggers in the night,
Oh my heart has taken flight...
