Me and My Shadow
Lonely Shadows: Navigating the Night's Blues
Lyrics
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
As night approaches, a sense of loneliness sets in.
Standing on the corner feeling blue
Feeling sad while standing on the street corner.
Sweethearts out for fun
Couples enjoying themselves for leisure.
Pass me one by one
People passing by one after another.
Guess I'll wind up like I always do
Expecting to end up in a familiar, lonely situation.
With only
Alone with only...
Me and my shadow
Metaphorically, the singer and their shadow.
Strolling down the avenue
Walking casually down the street.
Me and my shadow
The singer and their shadow as companions.
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
No one around to share their problems with.
And when it's twelve o'clock
At midnight...
We climb the stair
Ascending the stairs.
We never knock
Without knocking, entering their space.
For nobody's there
Nobody is present.
Just me and my shadow
Alone again with only the shadow.
All alone and feeling blue
Feeling a sense of sadness.
When the sun sets on the far horizon
As the sun sets...
And the parlor lamps begin to glow
Home becoming cozy with lamp lights.
Jim and Jack and John
Others getting ready for relaxation.
Put their slippers on
The singer remains active and on the move.
They're all set but we'restill on the go
Loneliness persists.
So lonely
Still feeling isolated.
Me and my shadow
Once again, the singer and their shadow.
Strolling down the avenue
Continuing the stroll.
Me and my shadow
The ongoing companionship with the shadow.
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
No one to share their troubles with.
And when it's twelve o'clock
Midnight arrives again...
We climb the stair
Ascending the stairs as before.
We never knock
Without knocking, finding an empty space.
For nobody's there
No one there to share the moment.
Just me and my shadow
Left alone with only the shadow.
All alone and feeling blue.
Feelings of solitude and sadness persist.
