Lyrics
-Hiding in the shadows, deception rules the game
See him sneaking out a motel door
Turns around and smiles once more
Takes his keys and drives away
In his denial, he says, "It's OK."
-Lurking in the shadows, all the games that are played
See her leave the house with her phone
Looks around there's no one there she's all alone
Leaves her ring in the tray
There's no denial she's says,"It's all OK."
- A flower can't grow in a shadow
- Eyes can be deceived and fooled in a shadow
-The mind sees what it wants to see.
No hearts to break
No gifts from a shop
No trust to earn again
No way they'll make it stop
- Like a Hogarth lyric, "...the ring IS just a band of gold."
Lying in the darkness with open eyes
Neither knows the other's lies
Off to sleep the shadows play
Close the book- tomorrow is another day......
- A flower can't grow in a shadow
- Eyes can be fooled and deceived in a shadow
- See what the mind wants to see
-...it won't go away...
Very well executed and delivered......catchy vocals and story line.....nice dreamy lead break.....lots of musical textures I'm hearing......
