There she is
A shadow in the shadows
Head down
Knees drawn
Up
Ebony
Lonely and forlorn
In mourning it seems
Lonesome and cold
The warrior she wants
Has chosen another world

He is…
A ghost among ghosts
A traveler on his own time
A ghost among ghosts
One of a kind
She doesn't understand
Baffled by his craving for the light
She's doesn't understand
Flummoxed by his concept of wrong and right

What she has to settle for
Is not what she desires
But she doesn't have what it takes
To comfort the hunger or suppress the raging fires
So she sits
A shadow in the shadows
Head down
Knees drawn
Up 
As the river of tar flows
Back to its prized heart
The magic of Mer
That keeps them forever apart

He doesn't look back
Doesn't hesitate
No regrets
No goodbyes at the gate
The prince of darkness
Dragon come and gone
A shadow in the shadows
Ebony
Alone and forlorn
