Living in the shadows (song)
by Danny WashingtonAnd I don't want to trouble you
But if you're not mine to keep
I'll go back to the daytime
While you go back to sleep
And we watched you on the screen
As you did your dirty dance
We waited until the morning
But we didn't have a chance
Living in the shadows, living in the night
Nothing is impossible
to the man across the street
I'll show you something awful
That you can now repeat
Walking barefoot in the mud
Isn't not something that you do
And now my dreams are indebted
All in debt to you
Living in the shadows, living in the night
A shamed romantic, that's losing his fight
Standing in the shadows, putting out all right

| Posted by Julie Adams on 03/14/10 at 02:03 PM this piece/song is wonderuful, a dreamscape of Salvador Dali proportions, vivid and winding, imagistic and haunting...the first stanza is my favorite, just perfect...well done poetman, I look forward to reading more of your work...peace n poems to u, jewels |
