Alison Krauss: "Shadows"

let me reach out, love, and touch you
let me hold you for awhile
i've been all around the world
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
