Beverly Terrace

It's like a showdown at Beverly Terrace

Perhaps a movie filmed in 1949

Just outside of Paris

With palm trees shipped direct from Hollywood & Vine



I'd love to change your permanent address

Even for a week or two down by the bay

Now don't be embarrassed

Of the well upholstered times from another day



We left behind

I never understood this way of life

The sun beats down upon the sand

And this is where I'd like to draw the line



Yeah, we left behind

I never understood this way of life

The sun beats down upon the sand

And this is where I'd like to draw the line



She wears sunscreen in middle of winter

To remind herself of summers that were kind

I'm a downstream drifter

Detached from either shore with peace of mind



Living in the shadow of love

Is all some people can do

Living in the shadow of love

Is all some people can do

Living in the shadow, I know, I know

But knowing doesn't make it untrue

Living in the shadow of love
