Lyrics

Verse 1
In the twilight of civilization
I guess that’s where we must be
for the outrage and condemnation
that’s cast upon you and me
V1b
They’ll never understand They tried to end our love from the start
They’ll never let us be
So we must stay in the dark

Chorus
When the streetlights go down and there’s no-one else around
Meet me in the shadow
We can steal into the night for the true love that we’ve found
Meet me in the sha—dow-o-oh

Verse 2
We might look different on the outside
but inside we are as one
All the hate and mistrust around us
keep us constantly on the run
V2b
I used to be afraid but nothing’s gonna get in my way
My friend’s don’t understand
Maybe they’ll find love one day
Chorus 2&3
When the streetlights go down and there’s no-one else around
Meet me in the shadow
We can steal into the night for the true love that we’ve found
Meet me in the shadow
Maybe someday things’ll change
but ’til then you must arrange
to meet me in the shadow
Meet me in the shadow
V3b
Someday we will not hide and we won’t have to keep it inside
Tonight we will be free
alone together you and me
