The Shadow

(Timothy B. Schmit)
Ive been so brokenhearted
Youve been so far away
I dont 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
Its not too late
We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire
And I wont give in
Theres a shadow
Outside my window
Im just tryin to be true
And I cant stop thinking of you
Sometimes
I dream in colors
It always happens when
I find myself with others
Who dont pretend
I see you in the ocean
I hear you on the phone
I feel your touch and wonder
Why Im alone
People say that
I should Simply let it be
I dont know if
I could Even though
I see A shadow
Outside my window
Im just tryin to be true
And I cant stop thinking of you
I could tell you
Im alright
But that wont 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 wont give in to
The shadow
Outside my window
Im just tryin to be true
And I cant stop thinking of you
