Standing In the Shadow (1987 Version)

[Verse 1]
I'm running away from a feeling
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But my heart keeps telling me, "No"

[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love

[Verse 2]
I've been living so long in the darkness
I know the cold embrace of the night
When morning comes I close my eyes
'Cause I'm blinded with the light
Taking a chance on a feeling
Is like waiting for a flower to grow
So I stand at the crossroad, baby
Wondering which way to go

[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love

[Guitar Solo: John]

[Verse 1]
I'm running away from a feeling
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But my heart keeps telling me, "No, no"

[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
