I Cast A Lonesome Shadow

I Cast A Lonesome Shadow - Hank Thompson/The Brazos Valley Boys

Every evening

When the sun goes down

I sit here in my room

And the lamplight streaming over me

Projects my lonely gloom

My counterpart in agony mocks

Each tear that falls

And I cast a lonesome shadow

On these lonely

Lonely walls

He's always by my side at night

No matter where I go

He lurks out in the darkness

Or in the neon's glow

He follows me across the steps

And up and down the hall

And I cast a lonesome shadow

On these lonely lonely walls

I sit and watch the candle

And the flicker of the flame

My writhing shadow's twisting

As though it is in pain

I'm trying to forget the memory

My heart recalls

And I cast a lonesome shadow

On these lonely

Lonely walls

Everything I hope for

And all the things I'd planned

Are as empty as this bottle

That I hold in my hand

I'm buried in the depths of love

And life's pitfalls

And I cast a lonesome shadow

On these lonely

Lonely walls

I cast a lonesome shadow

On these lonely

Lonely walls
