Living in the Shade

Intro
(Soft acoustic guitar picking with warm electric piano and gentle pedal steel swell)
​[Verse 1]
She wears her wedding ring down in her purse
He checks his watch like it's a blessing and a curse
They meet at a quiet diner on the edge of town
Sharing coffee and secret looks when no one's around
Two separate lives under the bright morning sun
Hiding the fire of what they've done
​[Chorus]
'Cause they're daytime lovers, living in the shade
Counting down the hours of the plans they made
When the evening comes, they go their separate ways
Back to the quiet lives and the part each plays
Stealing precious moments while the daylight shines
Leaving all their heartache on the borderline
​[Verse 2]
He talks about his job, she mentions her home
Both knowing soon they'll have to walk alone
A gentle touch of hands across the table slide
Hiding all the feelings that they keep inside
It's a temporary haven in a busy world
A secret story left untold
​[Chorus]
'Cause they're daytime lovers, living in the shade
Counting down the hours of the plans they made
When the evening comes, they go their separate ways
Back to the quiet lives and the part each plays
Stealing precious moments while the daylight shines
Leaving all their heartache on the borderline
​[Outro]
(Pedal steel fades down, soft acoustic strumming)
Yeah, daytime lovers...
When the sun goes down, they disappear...
Just daytime lovers...
(Fade out on soft electric piano chord)
