Only My Shadow Knows
Words and music by Kim Wilson (Alador)
Long shadows cast by streetlights
Duck out of sight down at the corner
I'm right down, in the middle of town
Seekin, a friendly face
Midnight on 3rd avenue
I'm a refugee from romance
Her sweet lies and alibis
Sure put me in my place
CHORUS
Dancin' with my shadow
To a sweet old song on the radio
No one to talk to but my shadow
And only my shadow knows
Chalk this one up to experience
Cut my loses and walked away
She left me here, shed not a tear
Not much more to say
Fell like my life has been ransacked
Heart left turned wrong side out
Robbed and ruined I'm black and blue
I guess that's just her way
chorus
