Gordon Lightfoot - Shadows Lyrics

Won't you reach out, love and touch me

Let me hold you for awhile?

I been all around the world

Oh, how I long to see you smile

There's a shadow on the moon

And the waters here below

Do not shine the way they should

And I love you just in case you didn't know

Let it go

Let it happen like it happened once before

It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone

And if you do not believe me

Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Won't you lie down by me, baby

Run your fingers through my hands?

I been all around the town

And still I do not understand

Is it me or is it you?

Or the shadow of a dream?

Is it wrong to be in love?

Could it be the finest love I've ever seen?

Set it free

Let it happen like it happened once before

It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone

And if you do not believe me

Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Please kiss me gently, darling

Where that river runs away

From the mountains in the spring time

On a blue and windy day

Where there's beauty all around

As the shades of night grow deep

When the morning stars grow dim

They will find us in the shadows fast asleep

Let it go

Let it happen like it happened once before

It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone

And if you do not believe me

Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door
