I Cast A Lonesome Shadow
Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room
And the lamplight shining on me projects my lonely gloom
My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely , lonely walls
Hes always by my side at night no matter where I go
He lurks out in the darkness or in the neons glow
He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame
My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain
Im trying to escape the memory my heart recalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
The image of a love I lost and all the things Id planned
Are as empty as the bottle that I hold in my hand
My soul is buried in the depths of love and lifes pitfalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
