Lyrics

"NIGHT SHIELD"

V1
A POSTER GIRL FOR HAPPINESS
THATS WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HER AT WORK
WITH HER SMILE AND PERSONALITY
THEY DON?T KNOW HOW BAD SHE HURTS
SHE KEEPS HER SECRET HIDDEN
WHILE SHE?S WORKING NINE TO FIVE
THEN THE FRONT COMES DOWN AND THE SMILES ALL FADE
AS THE DAY TURNS INTO NIGHT?

CHORUS
SHE PUTS UP HER NIGHT SHIELD
A WALL NOBODY CAN SEE
THICKER THAN COLD STEEL
TO PROTECT A HEART THATS NEVER HEALED
TO KEEP HER FROM GETTING HURT AGAIN
SHE?LL DO ANYTHING NOT TO FEEL
THE FIRE OF LOVE SHE USE TO NEED SO MUCH
BUT INSIDE IT?S A BATTLEFIELD
BEHIND HER NIGHT SHIELD?

V2
EVERY NOW AND THEN SHE?LL RISK THE NIGHT
GO OUT DANCING WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS
BUT THE ONLY SLOW DANCE THAT SHE?LL DO
IS FROM THE CHAIR SHE?S SITTING IN
SHE ALWAYS MAKES EXCUSES
WHEN A GUY TRYS TO APPROACH
NO MATTER HOW SMOOTH THE LINES THEY USE
WHEN THEY START TO GET TO CLOSE?

CHORUS
SHE PUTS UP HER NIGHT SHIELD
A WALL NOBODY CAN SEE
THICKER THAN COLD STEEL
TO PROTECT A HEART THATS NEVER HEALED
TO KEEP HER FROM GETTING HURT AGAIN
SHE?LL DO ANYTHING NOT TO FEEL
THE FIRE OF LOVE SHE USE TO NEED SO MUCH
BUT INSIDE IT?S A BATTLEFIELD
BEHIND HER NIGHT SHIELD?

TAG
ONE DAY THE HURT WILL HEAL
SHE WON?T BE AFRAID TO FEEL
THE FIRE OF LOVE SHE USE TO NEED SO MUCH © 2004
BUT FOR NOW IT?S A BATTLEFIELD WRITTEN BY:
BEHIND HER NIGHT SHIELD? JERRY BLACKBURN
