In the shadow of your father

Sweet brown eyes of the one i love

I can't wait another minute baby

To do the things that we never done

Everybody gets hungry sometimes

Your love is like a kettle on

In the shadow of your father

Guess i get a little sad sometimes



Shake a little for me baby

Take me to the water when my well runs dry

Shake a little for me baby

Just a little now

Just a little now



Everybody gets lonely sometimes

Guess a stranger is a friend in need

In the shadow of this new york skyline

All these stories looking down on me

Everybody feels the water rising

Could go on to her enjoy the ride

Ah when you're dancing for me now baby

I don't feel so small against the tide



Shake a little for me baby

Take me to the water when my well runs dry

Shake a little for me baby

Shake a little for me baby

Take me to the water when my cup runs dry

Shake a little for me baby

Just a little now

Just a little now

Just a little now
