Lyrics
My Shadow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We used to be close
Always together
We loved the sunshine
We were real good friends
Then came you
A beautiful distraction
And a wonderful relationship
Came to an end
Whatever you did
The damage is done
You did something
That nothing and no one else could do
It used to be me
And my shadow
But now my shadow
Is following you
Following you
It’s a mystery
It don’t make sense
How can a shadow
Be taken away
But I must admit
If I were my shadow
Nothin’ in this world
Could make me stay
Whatever you did
The deed is done
He did something
I didn’t have the nerve to do
It used to be me
And my shadow
But now, my shadow
Is following you, running after you
I’m out in the sunshine
Feeling all alone
And I hope my shadow
Will soon come home
Whatever you did
The deed is done
He did something
I didn’t have the nerve to do
It used to be me
Me and my shadow
But now, my shadow, oh, yeah
It used to be me
And my shadow
But now, my shadow
Is following you, is following you
Yeah, yeah, following
Oh, following you
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My shadow
