Shadow Catcher Lyrics by Daniel Amos

Fearful Symmetry

1986

[Verse 1]
His eyes
Make pictures when they close
He follows
Pure breezes where they blow
The earth and ocean seem to sleep
In one another's arms and dream
He does not fear this haunted keep
But swims the shimmery, boundless stream

[Chorus]
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher

[Verse 2]
His hands
Turn shadows into gold
Three wonders
The spirit wind unfolds
Comes the hour of his distress
When temptations do oppress
But each sin he does confess
Embracing now his Unseen Guest

[Chorus]
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher

[Bridge]
Here the wind will sigh and weep
And all the world is drowned in sleep
Yet His eyes do watch and keep
And the Spirit guides his feet
Shadow

[Verse 3]
He prays
The Lamb of God descends
He seeks
A kingdom without end
Shapes that haunt thought's wilderness
These are the world's rejected guests
Glass darkly shades the final rest
Still He will surely past this test

[Chorus]
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
