Rodney Crowell - Somebody's Shadow lyrics

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 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 lipstick on the pill mill, by the ashtray on the bed Wine gla** 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, 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
