Flirting in the Shadows (Roll Back Version) - Horslips
A flirting in the shadows
With a girl who has no past
Love never was in question
"Please come with me" is all she asks
And flirting in the shadows
With a girl who has no smile
Her long hair may look careless
But those dark eyes beguile
Flirting in the shadows
With a girl who looks insane
Just want to keep her company
Don't even know her name
And flirting in the shadows
With a girl who cannot sleep
Tossing stones in midnight pools
Discover those pools are deep
Oh we worked so hard to build a dam
That would stem the dreams of a desperate man
But hope can disappear like morning mist
You'll still sweet sixteen
And you've never been kissed
Oh we worked so hard to build a dam
That would stem the dreams of a desperate man
But hope can disappear like morning mist
You'll still sweet sixteen
And you've never been kissed
Flirting in the shadows
With a girl who knows no end
Perhaps she's passed this way before
The night wind as her friend
And flirting in the shadows
With a girl who's make believe
You know just when my mind is made up
I turn to find her tugging at my sleeve
Turn to find her tugging at my sleeve
Tugging at my sleeve
