The jagged yellow smile of the jaundiced moon
Pokes through the clouds and plays peekaboo
Spits light into the Room
In the Shadow of Love

The silent phantom its eyes watch lovers who
Make cloak and dagger plans to run away real soon
Leave this Ugly place and find a somewhere new

In the Shadow of Love
Where the Angels hide
I sit inside and call your name
In the Shadow of Love
I Play the fool and lose my cool
Aint that the way

Outside the hunter hides in the dark
Pulls back his bow and aims straight for the heart
Cupid smiles as his arrow hits the mark
In the shadow of Love

There amongst the sailors bones that heard the sirens call
Made Johnny walk the line and pride take a fall
Romeo and Juliet and Bogart and Bacall

In the Shadow of Love
Where the Angels hide
I sit inside and call your name
In the Shadow of Love
I Play the fool and lose my cool
Aint that the way

I am its witness felt hands laid on
Felt its warmth in the middle of a storm
Seen it reflected in the eyes of my newborn
LOVE…. love…. love….

Bonnie and Clyde Barrow on a jagged country road
Holding hands while machine guns unload
they died together and they wanted nothing more
In the Shadow Of Love
In the Shadow Of Love
