In the deep of the night
Nothing's good, nothing's right
In the light of the day
Nothing takes that away
~
I drop into my chair
Where I sit and I stare
At the nothing ahead
I go back to my bed
~
I don't moan, I don't weep
I don't go back to sleep.
Watch TV, toss around
Then I hear a strange sound
~
On the chill of a breeze
Rides a voice, "Help me, please"
From my window I see
Myself running from me
~
So I turn off the news
I put on my worn shoes
Get between earth and sun
And I join Shadow's Run
~
I'm not sure where to go
But I don't need to know
What the future might hold
I'll just watch fate unfold
~
When my shadow is wee
The sun's shining on me
When my shadow is long
Twilight sings me this song
~
You are strong, you are true
You have much work to do
Give the shamed your embrace
Give the troubled your grace
~
I reached out a warm hand
Helped a frail one to stand.
I silently listened
To one whose tears glistened
~
Now the stars are in sight
In the glorious night
Now I don’t run away
From the radiant day
~
To give is to get
Reprieve from regret
So much to be done
Blessings from Shadow’s Run
~
