Jarboe - Thirteen Masks

The Never Deserting Shadow

give me your promise baby tell me true
give me your promise i will love you
give me your promise baby make it tonight
give me your promise tell me you're mine
superficiality comes in easily
protect now the inner sanctum
alone with myself i barely recognize
reasons for this occurrence
and for this demise
superficiality comes in easily
protect now the inner sanctum
but if with a mind that is calm and clean
with him does bliss follow
mind is supreme all is creation of mind
like the never-deserting shadow
"how many times will i ask this of you baby

how will i make myself clear to you baby
how many prayers will i offer tonight baby
through the soft veil of these hot lonely tears
baby ooooh...
the never-deserting shadow
the never-deserting shadow
give me your promise baby oooh tell me true
give me your promise i will love you
give me your promise baby make it tonight
give me your promise tell me you're mine
oooh the shadow, the never-deserting shadow
the never-deserting shadow
(jarboe) *w.apologies to Dhamapada*
