Timothy b schmit the shadow lyrics

(Timothy B. Schmit)

I've been so brokenhearted

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 tryin' 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

I don't know if I could

Even though I see



A shadow

Outside my window

I'm just tryin' 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

Outside my window

I'm just tryin' to be true

And I can't stop thinking of you
