Shadow Of The Moon
Blackmore's Night Lyrics

In the shadow of the moon,
Under the moon's shadow,

She danced in the starlight
She danced under the starry sky,

Whispering a haunting tune
Singing a mysterious melody in a soft voice,

To the night...
Addressing the night to listen to her song,

Velvet skirts spun 'round and 'round
Her velvet dress spun around her body while she danced,

Fire in her stare
She had a passionate look on her face,

In the woods without a sound
She was dancing in the forest with no sound,

No one cared...
No one was around to notice her dance,

Through the darkened fields entranced,
She walked through the dark fields as if hypnotized,

Music made her poor heart dance,
The music she heard made her heart skip a beat,

Thinking of a lost romance...
She was reminiscing about a romance that she had lost,

Long ago...
The romance had happened a long time ago,

Feeling lonely, feeling sad,
She was experiencing loneliness and sadness,

She cried in the moonlight.
She shed tears while looking at the moon,

Driven by a world gone mad
She was compelled by the insanity of the world,

She took flight...
She ran away in search of peace,

"Feel no sorrow, feel no pain,
She advised to not feel sorrow, pain,

Feel no hurt, there's nothing gained...
As feeling hurt doesn't give any gain,

Only love will then remain,"
Only love will stay behind after all,

Shadow of the Moon...
The darkness that accompanies the moon,

Shadow of the Moon...
The same darkness that comes with the moon's rise,

Somewhere just beyond the mist,
Just past the mist,

Spirits were seen flying
She saw spirits flying through the mist,

As the lightning led her way
As the lightning guided her path,

Through the dark...
Through the darkness that surrounded her,

Shadow of the Moon...
The darkness that returns with each moon cycle,
