Ancient shadow, come!
I feel your spirit is around,
I feel your cold breath on my cheeks!
I am hopeless, in despair
lift my head and see you're not there
Once I saw your radiant face,
I fell in love and lost my head
Please, don't let me think you don't care
Oh Ancient shadow, come to me!
Whisper love words in my ears
Sigh and sing and let me feel.
Take away this hollow fear away from me
Ancient shadow, come!
Light this darkness, Come!
Soar through the night on spectral wings!.
Here's where my journey begins.
Give to me the gift of light.
Oh, Dream-weaver from the past,
Heal my broken heart with your love.
Once I saw your sparkling eyes,
Freezing flames shining inside
Trapped my soul within your sight
Ancient shadow, come to me.
Knock on my door. I'll let you in.
Hold my hands, please don't leave me.
Scratch my walls and let me know
You're standing very close... to me
Ancient shadow, come to me!
Whisper love words in my ears.
Oh, come back. Oh please don't leave me.
Sigh and sing and let me feel.
Take away this hollow fear away from me
Ancient shadow, come!
I'm still waiting, come!
I'm still waiting! Ancient shadow come!

Louisa John-Krol is probably one of Australia's most prolific musicians (not to mention a true storyteller in the traditional sense of the world), and yet she deserves to be better-known. This sampler — featuring some of her best work from the Prikosnovénie era (and before then) along with tracks previously unavailable anywhere until now — is a welcome way to get acquainted. I would also recommend it to any live-streaming musicians seeking to build their folk / faerie repertoire. Philip David Morgan
