The BlueHearts: Music
In The Shadow of Love
(The Blue Hearts: Album Dark Side Of Town)
We had the fever but never the cure
Banging your fist on the speakeasy door
Begging forgiveness but I don’t know what for
Now I have nothing left to adore
Where will it end how far will we go
Everything is rapidly turning so slow
Feeling so trapped, how we get out of
The cold and the bitter, shadow of love.
I held your hand now you’re losing your grip
As all of the curses lurch from your lips
There is only pain, for the mad and the sane
Repeating the mantra again and again
Where will it end how far will we go
Everything is rapidly turning so slow
Sinking so low can we rise above?
The cold and the bitter, shadow of love.
Every apology died a swift death
Stifled of even once drawing breath
The flowers are withered and the poems don’t rhyme
And the ending is just a matter of time.
Where will it end how far will we go
Everything is rapidly turning so slow
In the beginning where’s the end of
The cold and the bitter, shadow of love.
I’m all alone in the shadow of love
No place to go in the shadow of love
I can’t live in the shadow
Don’t want to be in the shadow of love
