Shadows of the Wildwood
(Bob Nolan)
Out in the west where skies are blue,
A tiny spot I knew
Is calling from the shadows of the wildwood.
And there’s an ivy-covered shack.
A wishing well in back
Is hidden in the shadows of the wildwood.
There in the window is a candlelight shining, you see,
And by the fireside a true heart is pining for me.
There I will live forevermore.
An angel by the door
Is waiting in the shadows of the wildwood.
There in the window is a candlelight shining, you see,
And by the fireside a true heart is pining for me.
There I will live forevermore.
An angel by the door
Is waiting in the shadows of the wildwood.
(Bob wrote an unrecorded introductory verse as well: )
Longing, longing, dreams come thronging,
Old songs fill the air.
Singing, ringing, twilight’s bringing
Thoughts I can hardly bear.
