In the shadow of your father  the sweet brown eyes of the one I love  I can't wait another minute  to do the things that we've never done  everybody gets hungry sometimes  your love is like the kettle on  in the shadow of my father  I guess I get a little sad sometimes  shake a little for me baby  take me to the water when the well runs dry  shake a little for me baby  just a little now, just a little now  everybody gets lonely sometimes  I guess a stranger is a friend in deed  and in the shadow of this new york skyline  so many stories looking down on me  everybody feels the water rising  you can go under, or enjoy the ride  but when you're dancing for me baby  I don't feel so small against the tide  shake a little .............  shake a little for me baby  take me to the river when my cup runs dry  shake a little for me baby  just a little now, just a little now
