[Verse 1]
The rain is fallin the night’s so cold
A shadow in the alley where stories are told
Footsteps echo slow on the broken stone

[Chorus]
Oh shadow shadow don’t follow me
Oh shadow shadow let me be
I’m walkin this road but I ain’t free

[Verse 2]
A flicker of a match in the darkened street
The rhythm of the rain keeps a heavy beat
The wind whispers secrets it can’t repeat

[Prechorus]
Oh I see it near
Oh I feel it here

[Chorus]
Oh shadow shadow don’t follow me
Oh shadow shadow let me be
I’m walkin this road but I ain’t free

[Bridge]
I talk to the dark but it don’t talk back
I run from the past but it stays on track
The blues got a grip like a rusty shackle chain
