Shadow of Your Love (1986 Sound City session) Songtext
von Guns N’ Roses

Wake up, it′s time to play!

Ooh, yeah
Ow!

Took my changes carelessly
I said I choked on my own cigarette
You can hand me another bottle of whiskey, baby
But you ain't seen the worst yet

Now I′m reckless, gonna have some fun
I had a woman who had said it was all alright
Now I'm back the only one

I ain't standing, never standing in the
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Oh, no


Stole my changes helplessly
I said, yeah, but I got no regrets
Money, it was on the table
So I booked with all the bets
Living like your livin′ ain′t so hot
You ain't my idea
Of a high-rolling shot

So, I ain′t standing, never standing in the
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Oh, shadow of your love
Oh, no! Yeah, ha-ha-ha

High price calling, hanging over your head
Hope you've heard, baby, all I′ve said
You've gone cold, even misread
No use crying, you′re as good as dead

Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun
I had a woman who had said it was all alright
Now I'm back the only one


And I ain′t standing, never standing in the
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love

Shadow, shadow
Shadow of your love
Oh, no
