Somebody tell me whynI’m so tired I could crynFell out the window like a crooked catnDon’t wanna lay down and diennLady with the white clothes came from easy streetnAnd now dirty work is all she doesnBut she don’t wanna show a poor boy where to gonI’m in the darkness becausennShadows at night keep good companynShadows of day time toonStanding on the fringes of lightnShadows of love will shelter younnFell out the window like a crooked catnWell she set my house ablazenLanding in slow motion nWhat a beautiful crashnInto a dead end streetnnNo Casanova with a magic lampnBut in the cast I play the leadnKeep it in mind and you just might findnThat shadows are all you neednnShadows at night keep good companynShadows of day time toonStanding on the fringes of lightnShadows of love will shelter younnShadows of night keep good companynShadows of the day time toonStanding on the fringes of lightnShadows of love will shelter younShelter younShelter you
