Shadows
The Smart Lyrics

Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
Darkness is descending and I am feeling lonely.

Standing on the corner feeling blue
Standing on the street corner with a feeling of sadness.

Sweethearts out for fun
Couples out enjoying their company.

Pass me one by one
Amidst these couples, one by one, they all ignore me.

Guess I'll wind up like I always do
It seems like I will end up alone, as always.

With only Me and my shadow Strolling down the avenue
Left with only my companion and friend, my shadow, walking down the street.

Me and my shadow Not a soul to tell our troubles to
Me and my shadow have no one to talk to about our problems.

And when it's twelve o'clock We climb the stair We never knock For nobody's there
At twelve o'clock, we go up the stairs without knocking since there is no one there.

Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue
Left again with only my shadow, feeling sad and lonely.

When the sun sets on the far horizon And the parlor lamps begin to glow
As the sun sets, the lights in other people's homes start to turn on.

Jim and Jack and John Put their slippers on They're all set but we're still on the go
People like Jim, Jack, and John are getting ready to settle down, but me and my shadow still have some walking to do.

So lonely Me and my shadow Strolling down the avenue
Feeling a deep sadness as me and my shadow walk down the street.

Me and my shadow Not a soul to tell our troubles to
Again, me and my shadow have no one to turn to for support.

And when it's twelve o'clock We climb the stair We never knock For nobody's there
At midnight, we return and go upstairs without knocking, since no one is waiting for us.

Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue.
Finally with only my shadow, feeling the same sadness as before.
