I went out walkin' beneath that wainin' moon
got tired of sittin' with my memories in an empty room
I looked down and I couldn't help but notice

Shadows fall, wherever I go
shadows fall, in the dirt or snow
shadows fall, wherever I go
shadows fall

I took a six gun and aimed it at my head
the birds were singin' but I couldn't tell what they said

If I had a heart, it'd break in two
but all I got is my shadow on the floor

The dog went limpin' down that endless road
I took my six gun and I shot that poor beast down
I watched him fall and it, it made me feel so hopeless

Shadows fall, wherever I go
shadows fall, in the dirt or snow
shadows fall, wherever I go
shadows fall

If I had a heart, it'd break in two
if I still had tears, they'd fall for you
but all I got is my shadow on the floor
