rodney crowell - somebody’s shadow lyrics

Loading...

i’ve seen her in the street light once, all edgy, black and white
a flash of incandescence, shape shifting in the night
i spied her in the clearing, out beyond the switching yard
i seen her in a fever dream, and the emperor’s tarot card

on every crooked sidewalk i’ve ever stumbled down
where all roads lead to nowhere on the other side of town

she leanin’ on a lamp post, or slumped back against the wall
sneaking down the alley, behind the billiard hall
down in a cafe window, a figure so forlorn
she’s making me the enemy, of every oath i’ve sworn
has anybody seen her pray tell me what you hear!
cause i just can’t get over how she shed me like a tear

somebody’s shadow is pullin’ out the stops
somebody’s shadow probably ought to call the cops
somebody’s shadow is sneaking up behind
somebody’s shadow made a mad house of my mind
a perfume apparition out there, fading into black
somebody’s shadow like a neon heart attack

she’s lipstick on the pill mill, by the ashtray on the bed
wine gl-ss in the bathroom, a porch light flamin’ red
her eyes are corn silt vapor and her hair is like oil drum fire
the hoot owl and in the belfrey backing on a heart’s desire

is anybody out there now, can hear my voice?
the moondance on the roof top is the phantom lady’s choice
somebody’s shadow sneaking up behind
somebody’s shadow made a mad house of my mind
somebody’s shadow is makin’ me a wreck
somebody’s shadow like a noose around my neck

this paradise called yesterday is what i miss the most
somebody’s shadow still haunts me like a ghost
