The lonely shadows fall once more
Still here, I listen to the waves fall upon the shore.
I want to leave and walk under the moon
In my heart I know my lover will be returning soon.
Cobwebs dance like silver chain mail in candle light
I look out through the gaping holes into the night.
Is he coming is he near, be still heart I cannot hear
Above the moaning wind , if his steps draw near.
How long I have I been sitting here
Awaiting the return of you,my dear
Too long for such a maid as I, I fear
I’ve seen too much of history pass through here.
The sun now climbs above this hill
Where castle and my spirit await you still
I can wait no longer the need for you grows stronger
I step outside into the growing light, nought is the same as I look yonder.
The sea is gone though I still here it’s song
This does not feel right there is something wrong.
I feel weak here in the sun, my heart now still I begin to fade.
Has my wait been in vain. Then I spy you standing in the glade.
How long I have I been sitting here
Awaiting the return of you,my dear
Too long for such a maid as I, I fear
I’ve seen too much of history pass through here.

The story came from my head by an idea born by reading Jean’s post Socialbridge Phunning Light.
All photos photos except the top one are from Jean’s post too! Thank you Jean for me to let my mind meander across your post!
