The Shadow Knows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of a woman?
The shadow knows, the shadow knows
Do you run to him, the minute I'm leaving
The shadow knows, the shadow knows
But the shadow ain't talking the whole town is
They've seen you in the moonlight, holding a stranger so close
Are you lying to me baby, with your kisses?
Only the shadow knows, the shadow knows, you and the shadow knows
Will you go to him tonight, the moment I leave you?
The shadow knows, the shadow knows
And will you, you'd lie to me again and want that I'd believe you
The shadow knows, the shadow knows
But the shadow ain't talking the whole town is
They've seen you in the moonlight, holding a stranger so close
Are you lying to me baby, with your kisses?
Only the shadow knows, the shadow knows, you and the shadow knows
Only the shadow knows, the shadow knows, you and the shadow knows
Only the shadow knows, the shadow knows, you and the shadow knows...........
