Somebody's Shadow - Rodney Crowell
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 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
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 now
Pray tell me what you hear
Cause I just can't get over
How she shed me like a tear
Somebody's shadow
Is pullin' 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 lipstickion the pill mill
By the ashtray on the bed
Wine glass in the bathroom
A porch light flamin' red
Her eyes are corn silt vapor
And her hair is like oil drum fire
The hoot owl and in the belfrey
Backing on a heart's desire
Is anybody out there now
And can you hear my voice
The moondance on the roof top
Is the phantom lady's choice
Somebody's shadow
Is makin' me a wreck
Somebody's shadow
Like a noose around my neck
Somebody's shadow
Is makin' me you slave
Somebody's shadow
Is digging me my pride
This paradise called yesterday is
What I miss the most
Cause somebody's shadow
Still haunts me like a ghost
