Every evening when the sun goes down
I sit here in my room
And the lamplight shining on
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 halls
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 twists and
turns as though it is in pain
I'm trying to escape the memory
my heart recalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
on these lonely, lonely walls
The image of a love I lost and
all the things I'd planned
Are as empty as the bottle that
I hold in my hand
My soul is 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
