The Shadow-Timothy B. Schmit

I’ve been so broken hearted
You’ve been so far away
I don’t know how it started
To be this way

I want to tell you something
I want to play with fate
Come over here and listen
It’s not too late

We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire and I won’t give in

There’s a shadow
Outside my window
I’m just trying to be true
And I can’t stop thinking of you

Sometime I dream in colors
It always happens when
I find myself with others, who don’t pretend
I see you in the ocean
I hear you on the phone
I feel your touch and wonder…
Why I’m alone

People say that I should
Simply let it be
But I don’t know if I could
Even though I see…

Your shadow outside my window
I’m just trying to be true
And I can’t stop thinking of you

I could tell you, I’m all right
But that won’t do, I need you tonight

In the morning I rise
I great a brand new day
I rub the sleep from my eyes
And then I say

We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire and I won’t give in

To the shadow, outside my window
I’m just trying to be true
And I can’t stop seeing
The shadow, outside my window
I’m just trying to be true
And I can’t stop thinking of you

I'm glad everyone is enjoying this song!

This song just seems to suit Timothy perfectly. I just love how you can actually HEAR Timothy's fingers sliding on the guitar strings at the beginning.. the album sure isn't over produced!

Thanks for that Kath - I love The Shadow too. Actually, I enjoy almost all the songs on Feed the Fire. That would really be something if Tim manages to get a solo album and an Eagles album out this year.
