Go back

Don't Hide In The Shadows

Debut single (1981)

Vox: Sylvia Griffin


She lived there alone
In a glass house by the sea
And when I saw her
She would bow and turn her head from me
And each stage
How a film turns to grain
Just a picture
Nothing else to say

She stayed in the shadow
Of a bright and burning light
Moving out sideways
But alone she crept into the night
To the water
To the water's eye
To the water
Another place to hide

Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows

Night after night
She sketched with her hand
Pictures of people
Lines on the shifting sand
And each stage
How a film turns to grain
Just a picture
Nothing else to say

Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows

Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows
Don't hide in the shadows
