The Shadow

(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
