3) A country music singer-songwriter (aka Peggy Sue Webb, born 24 Mar 1947, in Butcher Holler, KY, USA), who had brief success, in the late 60s. She is a sister of, two popular country performers, Loretta Lynn & Crystal Gayle.
She moved to Indiana at the age of 12 due to her father's illness. She then began performing with her sisters in Indiana, and then became a featured act in Lynn's early shows. Sue helped write a few of Lynn's compositions, including "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)." In 1969, she signed with Decca Records and released her debut single, "I'm Dynamite," which went into the Country Top 30. That year, she released an album of the same name, and the second single from that album titled, "I'm Gettin' Tired of Babyin' You" also reached the Top 30. After Sue had a hit with her most successful single, "All-American Husband," she left Decca Records after releasing two albums. She recorded two albums in the 70s for two small labels.
After 1970, she didn't appear on the Billboard country charts until 1980, where she had a string of minor hits off of her second husband, Sonny Wright's, label Doorknob. After 1983, her success declined and she began performing as a background singer and designing stage costumes for her sister, Crystal Gayle. She continues to perform today, occasionally with her two sisters. She had a daughter named Doyletta, but she was murdered by her daughter's then-husband.
Shadows
Peggy Sue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
color of things gone
stretched out like a shadow
stretched out like a shadow
the bed holds your shape
it tempts you back to
stretched out like your shadow
come away from the window
I'm afraid of what you'll see
leave what the future holds to be
happy holding me
come away from the window
I'm afraid of what you'll see
leave what the future holds to be
happy holding me
the night holds his scent
it tempts you back to
stretched out like his shadow
stretched out like his shadow
not afraid of the dark
but of things I do not see
stretched out in his shadow
stretched out in his shadow
come away from the window
I'm afraid of what you'll see
leave what the future holds to be
happy holding me
come away from the window
I'm afraid of what you'll see
leave what the future holds to be
happy holding me
when I grow old
I'll go back to the sea
10, 000 watery hands ask to greet me
oh water carry
my weight in windswept arms
oh constant friend, carry oooooooon
carry on
The song "Shadows" by Peggy Sue explores the idea of longing for someone or something that is no longer present, and being stuck in the past. The lyrics that start the song, "the grey makes you sick, color of things gone" set a melancholic tone, suggesting that the singer is feeling down and perhaps even depressed. The line "stretched out like a shadow" that is repeated throughout the song helps to create a sense of lingering, as if the past is still present and haunting the singer.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the danger of dwelling too much on the past, admonishing herself to "come away from the window" and avoid looking backwards for fear of what she might see. Instead, she urges herself to focus on the present moment, and embrace the happiness that can be found in the here and now.
The final lines of the song suggest a sense of acceptance and peace, with the singer imagining a time when she will be reunited with the sea, which seems to symbolize a sense of unity or wholeness. Overall, "Shadows" is a poignant and introspective song that explores themes of longing, memory, and acceptance.

Hank said he was helping to clear the stage after a show in the U.S. when a man walked down to the front. He told Hank how much he reminded him of his son. Hank asked who was your son & the man replied Buddy Holly 😊
