Jarboe - The Never Deserting Shadow lyrics

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
