I live my life like a runaway
I hide my dreams in a special place
I'm waiting here for my prince to come
To save me from the darkness

I count the nights, I count the days
The ways, yeah
Don't wanna fight, it would be in vain
So in vain (so in vain), so in vain

I can run but I can't hide, it's because
I'm living in the shadow of love, yeah, yeah
To me you are the only one I dream of
'Cause I'm living in the shadow of love

Your love surrounds me, it's everywhere
It is my shelter, it is my air
A moon eclipse and a burning sun
Making a shade just for me

For you I'd wait forever, babe, and a day
Yes, I would
To be there if your love should come my way (my way)
My way

I can run but I can't hide, it's because
I'm living in the shadow of love, yeah, yeah
To me you are the only one I dream of
'Cause I'm living in the shadow of love

Too many nights, too many days (too many days)
I've hidden from the sun (hidden from the sun)
And though I've tried to break away
You hold a leash just too strong (too strong)
I'm living in a shadow of love

I can run but I can't hide, it's because
I'm living in the shadow of love, love, love, love, love, yeah
To me you are the only one I dream of
'Cause I'm living in the shadow of love

(Living in the shadow of love)
It's because
Living in the shadow of love, shadow of love, yeah
I can run but I can't hide, it's because (living in the shadow)
(Living in the shadow of love)
Living in the shadow of love, shadow of love, babe (oh no)
