about

By far the newest song on the album, it could have been on the second one - Between Air And Wing (2013) - but I wanted to have something a little more up-to-date on Closer To The Moon to give an impression of my later songwriting. All of the other songs are from 1991 - 1997 or so.
I wrote 'Baby With The Shadows' in a time I rediscovered the Beatles, maybe you can tell.

lyrics

Baby With The Shadows In Your Head - Steve Merlin 2004/2008

Baby with the shadows in your head
You’ve too much weight upon your back
Forget about the past and don’t look sad
Your eyes are just not meant to look like that

Take a walk into the trees, and taste the blue air, and breathe
Take your friends and take good care, there’s nowhere you’d rather be

Baby with the shadows in your head
That’s too much weight to carry on your back
Learn again to trust in someone new
And find someone as beautiful as you

Cause no-one here can reach you
No-one here can tell
How to make you happy
No-one here but you

Baby you’ve got jewels in your head
There’s nothing more to bend your back
Forget about the past and don’t look sad
Your eyes are just not meant to look like that
