Where the Shadows Shiver to Sleep by Joseph Huber Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All these tears running down our head
Can't take away all the things we said
What we were seems as good as dead
As the world around you weeps
[Verse 2]
Here we stand, Lord, and there we run
Between things past and things yet undone
Maybe all we ever had was fun
And that ain't playin' for keeps
[Chorus]
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But the years, no they weren't too kind
No, they weren't so sweet
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But your dreams, like mine, reside
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
[Verse 3]
Words you spoke were always fine
Though you sang out of tune and out of time
I could never get myself to mind
I just had to be near her
[Verse 4]
Sun shone bright upon her face
No dim barroom could steal it away
We lit the night in its tightest space
With her face like a pale moon mirror
[Chorus]
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But the years, no they weren't too kind
No, they weren't so sweet
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But your dreams, like mine, reside
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
[Chorus]
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But the years, no they weren't too kind
No, they weren't so sweet
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But your dreams, like mine, reside
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Said, where the shadows shiver to sleep
Said, where the shadows, they shiver to sleep
All these tears running down our head
Can't take away all the things we said
What we were seems as good as dead
As the world around you weeps
[Verse 2]
Here we stand, Lord, and there we run
Between things past and things yet undone
Maybe all we ever had was fun
And that ain't playin' for keeps
[Chorus]
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But the years, no they weren't too kind
No, they weren't so sweet
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But your dreams, like mine, reside
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
[Verse 3]
Words you spoke were always fine
Though you sang out of tune and out of time
I could never get myself to mind
I just had to be near her
[Verse 4]
Sun shone bright upon her face
No dim barroom could steal it away
We lit the night in its tightest space
With her face like a pale moon mirror
[Chorus]
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But the years, no they weren't too kind
No, they weren't so sweet
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But your dreams, like mine, reside
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
[Chorus]
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But the years, no they weren't too kind
No, they weren't so sweet
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine
With your heart no longer mine
But your dreams, like mine, reside
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Where the shadows shiver to sleep
Said, where the shadows shiver to sleep
Said, where the shadows, they shiver to sleep
