Somebody tell me why   I’m so tired I could cry   Fell out the window like a crooked cat   Don’t wanna lay down and die      Lady with the white clothes came from easy street   And now dirty work is all she does   But she don’t wanna show a poor boy where to go   I’m in the darkness because      Shadows at night keep good company   Shadows of day time too   Standing on the fringes of light   Shadows of love will shelter you      Fell out the window like a crooked cat   Well she set my house ablaze   Landing in slow motion    What a beautiful crash   Into a dead end street      No Casanova with a magic lamp   But in the cast I play the lead   Keep it in mind and you just might find   That shadows are all you need      Shadows at night keep good company   Shadows of day time too   Standing on the fringes of light   Shadows of love will shelter you      Shadows of night keep good company   Shadows of the day time too   Standing on the fringes of light   Shadows of love will shelter you   Shelter you   Shelter you
