In the shadows You get to know your lover mostly by feel Got to put your faith in things you can touch If you dare to 'Cause the shadows can make you crazy With the things they reveal They show it all without revealing too much Scare the hell out of you 'Cause me and my love Live among the shadows Where the old playground is an alley way Now me and my love make love among the shadows When the sun goes down in a dark hallway Love in the shadows where the crowd never goes Deep in the shadows where flowers won't grow Me and my baby know love in the shadows In the shadows You got to work at love to get it to shine You can't believe in everything that you see Not this time around 'Cause the shadows can play A half a million tricks on your mind You try your best but you can never break free It just kind of drags you down 'Cause me and my love Live among the shadows Where the old playground is an alley way Now me and my love make love among the shadows When the sun goes down in a dark hallway Love in the shadows where the sun never shines Deep in the shadows where most men go blind Me and my baby find love in the shadows
