WITHOUT MY SHADOW
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

The sunlight shines through window blinds
To wake me in the morning-
The birds will sing,
And bells will ring and peal-
And when I wake, my dreams I’ll take
With fantasies adorning-
Begin to try to make them my ideal-
Behind my eyes, I’d fantasize
And use lies to conceal-
But dreams when through, need shadows to be real-

I LOOKED AROUND AND THERE WAS YOU-
YOU BELIEVED IN ME
AND FOR THAT, I MADE IT ALL COME TRUE
AND NOW I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO
WITHOUT MY SHADOW-

I cannot see reality-
I have no sense of feeling-
Of flying blind,
I have a mindless fear-
No life in me, how can this be?
I’m floating through the ceiling-
The ground below I find is nowhere near-
The world has changed, all re-arranged
Now I’m a stranger here-
But I’ll still be real if I can feel a tear-

The twilight‘s dawn is fading on
A childhood summer’s evening-
The fog rolls by and turns the sky to grey-
I’m all alone without a home
I find my heart is grieving
Within this room, there’s none with whom to play-
I look around, all up and down
No words I’ve found to say,
Cause I know it’s true, I still need you this way!

Balance of Nature
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 37 fans who also own “Without my Shadow”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler. Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

Fav tracks, more like. Storyteller and Close Your Eyes. When things are darkest, I think of these songs, the tiny spark to keep things lit. I know that sounds campy, but it's true. Heather's and now Alex's music help with my clinical anxiety and depression, and I need all I can get. Lia Graf
