Rodney Crowell - Somebody's Shadow songtekst

Je score:

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've 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's leaning 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 pulling 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 glass in the bathroom, a porch light flaming red
Her eyes are corn silt vapor and her hair is like oil drum fire
The hoot owl and in the belfry backing on a heart's desire

Is anybody out there now and can you hear my voice?
The moondance on the rooftop is the phantom lady's choice

Somebody's shadow is making me a wreck
Somebody's shadow like a noose around my neck
Somebody's shadow is making me a slave
Somebody's shadow is digging me my grave
This paradise called yesterday is what I miss the most
'Cause somebody's shadow still haunts me like a ghost
