Love In The Shadows

Dan Hill Love In The Shadows Lyrics
1.Love In The Shadows

He's a college boy
Got a liberal mind
She's just a small town girl
Running out of time
He's got a scholarship
On his family name
She's a late night hostess at the local cafe

Oh, love in the shadows
The thrill of the moment
Unfolding their love in the shadows

At the closing hour
She turned off the lights
She caught his glance
And their eyes lit up the night
In this college town
Where the rumors swirl
Especially with a rich by and a small town girls

Oh, love in the shadows
The thrill of the moment
Unfolding their love in the shadows
Oh love, love in the shadows
Skin against skin
Burning with distant shadows

Clandestine love affair, clandestine love affair
Borrowed time, angry stares, clandestine love affair

When the taste of guilt
Can be so divine
Skin to skin burning
Through the color line
In this college town
Where rumors swirl
Especially when brown eyes cast their spell on a blue eyed girl


2.Helpless

Her clothes tumbled round her
And fell to the floor
She said she's leaving tomorrow
She closed the door
Said her daddy got transferred
The economy's to blame
She was crying softly
She called my name

Passion exploding like a fire in my veins
Innocent victims of this fractured age
So helpless
They're taking my girl away
I feel so helpless
But I swear we'll be back together someday

She said she believed me
But her eyes never lie
I pushed back her hair
I was sinking inside
She reached out to touch me
But then I withdrew
She asked what was wrong
But we both know

American dreams cut like knives in the air
Promises fading like a nightmare
So helpless
They're taking my girl away
I feel so helpless
The fire still burns in my veins
But I feel so helpless I swear we'll be back together someday


3.In Your Eyes

And I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love's just like a thread
That keeps unraveling but then
It ties us back together in the end

In your eyes
I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes
I found the answer to my questions
In your eyes
I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes
We're drifting safely back to shore
I think I've finally learned to love you more

And you warned me that life changes
And that no one really knows
Whether time will make us strangers
Or whether time will make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Thru it all our love will still remain

In your eyes
I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes
I found the answer to my questions
In your eyes
I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes
We're drifting safely back to shore
I think I've finally learned to love you more


4.Just In Time

I'm not gonna change for you
I'm not gonna compromise
I've got my life to live
I've got nothing life to hide
You laugh at freedom, oh
You say the price is far to high
I'll take my chances now
I've just gotta say goodbye

Just in time I read your mind, just in time
And now I've finally found the man I wanna be
Just in time I say the signs, just in time
And now I feel as though I'm finally running free
I've finally found in me
The man I wanna be

And all those times
I tried to tell you how I feel
You turned your back to me
You had something to conceal
And now that it's over
I've got no cross to bear
I'm moving forward now
Gonna take my chance out there

Just in time I read your mind, just in time
And now I've finally found the man I wanna be
Just in time I say the signs, just in time
And now I feel as though I'm finally running free
I've finally found in me
The man I wanna be


5.You Pulled Me Through

All my life
I've been a working man
That's all I know
Who am I to complain
Then you blessed my life
Like only a woman can
You opened my soul
You made me feel whole, oh baby

You are my fate
You are my destiny
You are the heart
That beats out the breath in me
You are the dream
That I thought would never come true
You pulled me through
You pulled me though

You come to me
In the silence of the night
You fill me with love
So that I may breathe again
Then you disappear before the new day is born
How my body burns
Until you return, oh baby

You are my fate
You are my destiny
You are the heart
That beats out the breath in me
You are the dream
That I thought would never come true
You pulled me through
You pulled me though


6.Where You Gonna Run To

I didn't even know you
I guess that's the way
You wanted it to be
So safe within your distance
Treating live just like a casualty
And if you ever cared for me
You must have been determined to never let it show
All I wanted was some friendship
All I heard was the north wind blow

So where you gonna run to
When your mama leaves town
Who you gonna turn to
When the tears come down
Where you gonna run to
When your world comes tumbling down

You were so beautiful
You never had to try
Things came far too easily
When you flashed those schoolgirl eyes
Someone must have told her
That coldness was a woman's finest virtue
Just freeze dray all your senses
And no on ever hurts you

So where you gonna run to
When your mama leaves town
Who you gonna turn to
When the tears come down
Where you gonna run to
When your world comes tumbling down

When the make up runs and the lipstick fades
And your mirror turns to ice
And those moonlight eyes
Turn a distant grey
And you wonder at what price

Where you gonna run to...


7.Something Ain't Right

You rolled your eyes and looked away
Feels like your mind's in hyperspace
Can't put my finder on it
You turn on then you don't want it

Something ain't right, not quite
You keep changing your story
Get it straight tonite
Something ain't right, so slight
Though you're quick with an excuse
Your words just can't seduce my suspicion
Don't mess with male intuition

I saw his car parked by your home
The moonlight gleaming off the chrome
Innocent till proven guilty
But all the signs keep flashing thru me

Something ain't right, not quite
You keep changing your story
Get it straight tonite
Something ain't right, so slight
Just when the chemistry's forming you turn on the lights
Something ain't right, uh huh
Though you're quick with an excuse
Your words just can't seduce my suspicion
Don't mess with male intuition

You got me starring in a loser's role
I'm clearing out cause we both know
Something ain't right....


8.Don't Know Where It Comes From

Ever been drawn to someone
And just not known why
Something in his smile
Or just the flicker in his eyes
Sometimes I have problems just saying what I mean
You're the most beautiful woman
I've ever seen

Don't know where it comes from
When you're drawn to someone
Like I'm drawn to you
Don't know how to fight it
So I just had to write it
I'm in love with you

Thought I'd phone you
But I guess I lost my nerve
Just seemed to impersonal
I couldn't find the proper words
I just sell my life in songs you hear on the radio
For the first time in my life
I'm playing more that just a role

Don't know where it comes from
When you're drawn to someone
Like I'm drawn to you
Don't know how to fight it
So I just had to write it
I'm in love with you

I don't wanna steal your heart
I don't wanna steal your soul
I just wanna hear you breathing
I wanna get to know you nice and slow
Your eyes search thru me like a wounded deer
Your voice is all I ever want to hear

Don't know where it comes from
When you're drawn to someone
Like I'm drawn to you
Don't know how to fight it
So I just had to write it
I'm in love with you


9.Thru To You

Too damned safe
Don't take chances anymore
Just like stones on some fortress
On some island
Too damned straight
You can taste smugness in the air
You've been misled
Or somebody's bee lying

How do I break thru to you
Tell me now
How do I break thru to you
Tell me how
How do I break thru to you
Tell me now
How do I break thru

Eyes are closed
Too damned tired
Sleeping for too long
Must find a foundation
We can build on
I don't want to tear you down
Or tell you how to feel
Somewhere in this madness
There's gotta be a union

How do I break thru to you
Tell me now
How do I break thru to you
Tell me how
How do I break thru to you
Tell me now
How do I break thru


10.Old Lady Song

I felt the wind blow thru me
At the
Edge of the Vancouver coastline
The air was as dense as a cloud
It cut me to the bone
I heard a voice call out
Like a
Whisper in the wilderness she said
'walk me to the water please
I'm tired and all alone'
Her face was life a Van Gogh print
Dark lines full of grey
Her eyes were like a lonely circus clown's
Caught up in the wrong parade
And she said:

'I'm an old lady and I can't find my way home'
Please walk me down to the water
I wanna watch the ocean roll
I wanna watch the stars above me
As I drift out into sea'
She said
'I'm an old lady
And I wanna go out peacefully'

I wanted to talk to her
But I didn't know what to say
So I held out my hand, smiled foolishly
And asked her for her name
She said
'my friends call me Gloria
But they're no longer alive
I just hear their voices now
Drifting somewhere in my mind'
A dirty red umbrella dangled
Loosely from her side
The pattern on her raincoat
Was faded as her eyes
And she said:

'I'm an old lady and I can't find my way home'
Please walk me down to the water
I wanna watch the ocean roll
I wanna watch the stars above me
As I drift out into sea'
She said
'I'm an old lady
And I wanna go out peacefully'

And I knew she really wanted
To talk to somebody
I knew she didn't really want to die
But the timbre in her voice
Said help me I'm falling
I'm so lonely I've forgotten how to cry
And I tried to comfort her
But how much can words say
She was searching for the years gone by
In the pounding of the waves
