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
