In the shadows you got to know your lover mostly by feel,
You got to put your faith in things you can touch,
If you dare to.
'Causethe shadows can make you crazy with the things they reveal,
They show it all without revealing too much,
Scare the hell outa you.
 
'Cause me and my love live among the shadows
Where the old playground is an alleyway.
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 kinda drags you down.
 
'Cause me and my love live among the shadows
Where the old playground is an alleyway.
Now me and my love make love among the shadows,
When the sun goes down...
 
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,
Love in the shadows,
Love in the shadows,
Love in the shadows,
Love in the shadows,
Love in the shadows...
