Somebody?s Shadow
Rodney Crowell

I've seen it in the street lounge once, all edgy, black and white
AA flash on incandescence shape shifting in the night
I spot 'er in the clearing, out beyond the switching young
I 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 leanin' on a lamp post, her back against the wall
Sneaking down the alley, behind a beating heart
Down in a cafe window, a figure self for long
She's making me the enemy, no matter how hard I try
They've seen enough, Red, tell me what you hear!
cause I just can't get over how she shed me like a tear

Somebody's shadow is pullin' up the stops
Somebody's shadow probably gonna call the cops
Somebody's shadow sneaking up behind
Somebody's shadow made a mad house of my mind
Perfume apparition out there, pettin' in the blind
Somebody's shadow like a neon heart attack

She's lipstick on the pavement, but by the ashtray on the bed
Wine glass and a-bathroom singin', a porch light flamin' red
Her eyes are corn silt vapor and her hair is like oil rip fine
The hoodout and the belfrey backing on a heart's desire

Is anybody out there knowin', can hear my voice?
The moondance on the roof top is the phantom lady's choice
Somebody's shadow sneaking up behind
Somebody's shadow made a mad house of my mind
Somebody's shadow is makin' me a wreck
Somebody's shadow like a noose around my neck

This paradise called yesterday is what I miss the most
Somebody's shadow still haunts me like a ghost
