The Shadow Songtext
von Timothy B. Schmit

I′ve been so broken-hearted
You've been so far away
I don′t know how it started
To be this way
I want to tell you something
I want to play with fate
Come over here and listen
It's not too late

We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire
And I won't give in

There′s a shadow
Outside my window
I′m just trying to be true
And I can't stop thinking of you


Sometimes I dream in colors
It always happens when
I find myself with others
Who don′t pretend
I see you in the ocean
I hear you on the phone
I feel your touch and wonder
Why I'm alone

People say that I should
Simply let it be
But I don′t know if I could
Even though I see

Your shadow (There's a shadow)
Outside my window (Out my window)
I′m just trying to be true
And I can't stop thinking of you

I could tell you
I'm alright
But that won′t do
I need you tonight

In the morning, I rise
I greet a brand new day
I rub the sleep from my eyes
And then I say


We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire
And I won′t give in

To the shadow (There's a shadow)
Outside my window (Out my window)
I′m just trying to be true
And I can't stop seeing the shadow (There′s a shadow)
Outside my window (Out my window)
I'm just trying to be true
And I can′t stop thinking of you
