This song was inspired by a dream and has a haunting sound to it. For a while, I got away from using keyboards and was just using guitars, this is one of the songs that marked a return to my use of keyboards.

This song was written after waking up from a dream. It explores how when we dream our inhibitions are lifted and we are able to live our fantasies but ultimately they are only fantasies and we must eventually deal with reality.

SHADOW WOMAN


CHORUS: SHADOW WOMAN, GIRL IN MY DREAMS
PERFECT IS ALWAYS THE WAY SHE SEEMS
SHADOW WOMAN, GIRL IN MY DREAMS
PERFECT IS ALWAYS THE WAY SHE SEEMS


VERSE: SUN GOES DOWN AND NIGHT COMES TO STAY
SHE COMES AROUND AND WANTS TO PLAY
ANYTIME SHE’S READY FOR SEX
SATISFACTION IS WHAT SHE EXPECTS.
ANY PLACE OR POSITION, SHE WILL TRY
AND WILL NEVER ASK WHY.

CHORUS:

VERSE: SHE’S ALWAYS AT MY BECKON AND CALL
NEVER WANTS TO HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL.
SHE WEARS PANTS AND DRESSES TIGHT
ANYTIME IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
WITH HER, SEX IS ALWAYS GREAT
AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO WAIT.

CHORUS:

VERSE: SHE’S PERFECT IN MY MIND’S EYE
AND SHE WILL NEVER AGE OR DIE
SHE’S AN ILLUSION THAT I WILL FIND
LIVING IN THE DARKNESS OF MY MIND
DOESN’T MATTER WHAT I THINK OR FEEL
IN REALITY, IS WHERE I MUST DEAL
