Shadow of Your Love (1986 Sound City Session)
[Intro]
Wake up! It's time to play!
Oh-yeah, ow!
[Verse 1]
Took my changes carelessly
Said, I choked on my own cigarette
You can hand me another bottle of whiskey, baby
But ya ain't seen the worst yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun
I had a woman who had said it was all alright
Now I'm back, the only one
[Chorus]
And I ain't standin'
Never standin' in the the shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Whoa, no
[Verse 2]
Stole my changes helplessly
I said, "Yeah, but I got no regrets"
Money, it was on the table
So I booked with all the bets
Livin' like you're livin' ain't so hot
You ain't my idea
Of a high-rollin' shot
[Chorus]
So I ain't standin'
Never standin' in the shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Whoa, shadow of your love
Oh no, ha ha ha
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Tall, dark cloud hangin' over your head
Hope you've heard, baby, all I've said
You've gone cold, even misread
No use cryin', you're as good as dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun
And the woman who is dead, who was out all night
Now I'm back, the only one
[Chorus]
And I ain't standin'
Never standin' in the shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
[Outro]
Shadow, shadow
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Shadow of your love
Oh no
