Lyrics
Love is a Shadow -- Copyright Cynthia Post, gOA Music, BMI
Breathe me in, breathe me out
Love is a shadow of a doubt
Love?s dark drips with ghostly reasons for being together
Don?t trust love, but I?ll give to you
Cause I can?t hold you close enough, babe
Breathe me in, breathe me out
Love is a shadow of a doubt
Reste calme mon coeur
L?amour et com la mer, se change
L?amour et magnifique
Mais souvent si terrible
Love?s a ghost that walks in me and tunes my soul to the strangest key
Along the scale, I string my pearls
They glow, like moons, in a love dark world
Breathe me in, breathe me out
Love is a shadow of a doubt
