Love In The Shadows

Neil Sedaka

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
