The Shoals (Live)

You like me to smile

Speak softly and call you baby

Once in a while

You say you like me just a little crazy

But every time I start to speak my mind

I hear fading footsteps leaving me behind

Hard as I try I can’t keep it inside

Shame the Devil

Tell the truth shame the Devil

When I was a child

My devils were so well hidden

Biding their time

They’d wait for my inhibitions to fall

And when I’d start to lose my mind

A voice inside me straightens up my spine

Never let go

Don’t let it show

Shame the devil

Tell the truth shame the Devil

You want to float on the surface

I was cursed with a deeper purpose

My river runs to the sea

I’ll never be what you ask of me

I might not save your soul

But I can take you down to the shoals

Below the surface where the shadow grows

Let me take you down to the shoals

And if you ever tire of being blind

I can teach you how to swim where the water’s fine

Down in the Shoals

Shame the Devil

Down in the Shoals

Don’t let it show

Tell the truth shame the Devil
