Lady of Darkness (Written By Colin Walker)

Steve Gillgallon 1982

Again this is not one of my own compositions but one I played on.
In 1983 as an undergraduate in Middlesbrough, I hosted Sunday music sessions with musician friend Steve Gillgallon

Colin Walker

Just prior to my finals in August 83 Colin Walker came around - he'd arranged the Violin and flute score on my song Teardrop in the Tees. Colin played us a new song he'd written and we did it there and then and recorded it on a Sharp's stereo cassette player.

Steve Gillgallon - flanged bass, Colin Walker - keyboards Trev Teasdel - acoustic guitar / Vocals.

LADY OF DARKNESS (By Colin Walker)

Lady of Darkness 2

Walking along a lonely shore
Lapped by waters of illusion
out of the mist she came to me
The timeless daughter of the ocean.

Where she came from, I don't know
Like magic out of nowhere
Here eyes glittered like diamonds
The moon shone in her hair.

Chorus -
Lady of Darkness
With Stars in her eyes
She can never love you
So don't believe her lies.
Lady of Darksness
You'll never find the key
To unlock her secrets
She blongs to the sea.

In silence we made love
Then she stood and took my hand
At midnight she said goodbye
and left me alone up on the sand.

At night I return to the shore
hoping to find her waiting there
but I'm certain deep in my heart
we'll never meet again this way.

Coda -

LADY OF DARKNESS

SHE CAN NEVER LOVE YOU

LADY OF DARKNESS

TO UNLOCK HER SECRETS.
