Lyrics Walking in the Shallows - Gene

Walking in the Shallows

Oh, I’ve decided not to try
To understand my life
Grasp the forces that deny
They grapple with my drive
Oh, my heart full of pain
So I follow my groin not my brain
On a night like tonight
I’m walking in the shallows
Take me out, where it’s bright
I’m off the straight and narrow
Feel alive.
So won’t you be my girl?
Walking in the shallows
Close your eyes.
Hold me tight.
Be alright
Oh I’ve decided not to try
To understand my life
Cos the wherefores and the whys
Play havoc with my mind
Oh, my heart full of pain
So I follow my groin not my brain
On a night like tonight
I’m walking in the shallows
Take me out, where it’s bright
I’m off the straight and narrow
I feel alive.
So won’t you be my girl?
Walking in the shallows
Close your eyes.
Hold me tight.
Be alright
I don’t want to think I’m bored of time
Spent wasting words on being kind
I’d rather be a fool than be cruel
On a night like tonight
I’m walking in the shallows
Take me out, where it’s bright
I’m off the straight and narrow
I feel alive.
So won’t you be my girl?
Walking in the shallows
Close your eyes.
Hold me tight.
Be alright
