lyrics

‘Lonesome Shadows’ (Alex Haynes)

Lonesome shadows on the wall
Left by no-one there at all
Tears rise up, and they fall
Left lonesome shadows on the wall

Lonesome shadows long and tall
Thought I saw you in the hall
Glimpse, but no-one came to call
Just lonesome shadows on the wall

If I had my chance again
Well, I’d only be with you
If I got back all that time
Could I say it was really mine

These empty moments do unfold
Leave a heart that’s growing cold
Tears well and they do roll
Leave lonesome shadows on the wall

If I had my time again
Well, I’d spend it all with you
If I got back all that time
Could I say it was really mine

Lonesome shadows on the wall
Left by no-one there at all
No-one to answer if you call
One lonesome shadow on the wall

Shadows on the wall, shadows on the wall
On the wall, on the wall
