Half A Woman, Half A Shadow Lyrics
Roxette
Daylight is breaking again.
I hide in the dark.
I'm watching the rain.
You're out of touch.
You're out of reach.
What can I say,
I never wanted it this way.
Love sleeps all alone.
The cold telephone,
I know the heart.
Yes, I know the kind.
The kisses of fire,
turning to grey.
I never wanted it this way.
I always wanted you to stay.
Wash my pain away,
cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow.
Love always change with the trees,
the spring and the leaves,
the waves on the sea.
Wilder than light the wind in your eyes led me astray.
I never wanted it this way.
I always wanted you to stay.
Oh I need you, yes I need you.
Give me a reason to believe.
I hide in the dark.
I'm watching the rain.
You're out of touch.
You're out of reach.
What can I say,
I never wanted it this way.
Love sleeps all alone.
The cold telephone,
I know the heart.
Yes, I know the kind.
The kisses of fire,
turning to grey.
I never wanted it this way.
I always wanted you to stay.
Wash my pain away,
cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow.
Love always change with the trees,
the spring and the leaves,
the waves on the sea.
Wilder than light the wind in your eyes led me astray.
I never wanted it this way.
I always wanted you to stay.
Oh I need you, yes I need you.
Give me a reason to believe.
