SHADOWS
AND SUNSHINE
Life is hell, life is fine
And you’re
free and you’re mine
And I fear
nothing ‘cept a day
That you may
say you’re leaving
CHORUS
(1)
Shadows and
sunshine leading me somewhere
Shadows and
sunshine turning me on
To a life
that is full
Of a place where
I know nothing
But today
will not end
If I get my
way
CHORUS (2)
Shadows and
sunshine teaching me something
Shadows and
sunshine telling me hold on, let go
Of a life
where you feel
A great joy –
like a boy
For a change
you’ve arrived
In a place
where you’ve got something to lose
And it scares the hell out of me
That I would have to go on
Knowing if she were to go
It would be harder than ever before
To go on
like before
All alone on
the shore
Through a
life that is fine
Where you’d
have nothing to lose
CHORUS (1)
Shadows and
sunshine leading me somewhere
Shadows and
sunshine turning me on

Commentary:
Coming to terms
with being happy! And being in a relationship I wanted to last and fearing that
it wouldn’t. And at the same time preparing myself for the worst should it be necessary!
I remember being happy with this song but have no idea how it went.
