Wonderful Shadow - Tanita Tikaram

You’ve a beautiful body and a wonderful mind

These are things I’ve been stumbling towards

And I think you’ve been kind towards me

There are wonderful moments

The gifts I’ve received

And the knowledge is hurting

But I guess it comes back to the things that you no longer need

I’m an evil young hustler

To be so curious

These are evil young thoughts here

To be so jealous, so jealous

When a beautiful thought can

Can be just thrown away

'Cos i tell you — I’m used to looking and turning my back on them

Some things you say

Just to be sociable

And somethings you feel

'Cos you’re young and you’re gullible

And sometimes I’m watching

Sometimes I’m too scared

And sometimes I’m able, I’m useful

I’m holding you

Holding you

You’ve a beautiful body

And a wonderful mind

These are things I’ve been stumbling towards

And I think you’ve been kind towards me

I’m a wonderful shadow

Whose sweetness is brief

For there’s nothing like lovers

Who cry in the night

Wanting to need you

And wanting to need you

And hoping that you’ll feel it too

Yes, you
