The Shadows on the Wall

   
I don’t remember, 
What it was she said to me, 
Somethin’ ‘bout forever endin’, 
And us becoming a memory, 
To this day I can’t recall, 
If there were tears in her eyes, 
The only thing that’s fresh in my mind, 
Are those shadows on the wall. 

(Chorus) I saw the shadow of her suitcase, 
Right beside the front door, 
And the blackened image, 
Of the love that she swore, 
It sure has been a while, 
And I don’t remember it all, 
But I can still see, 
The shadows on the wall. 

She took off the ring, 
I gave her on our wedding day, 
Tossed it in the corner, 
I guess there weren’t no other way, 
That diamond cast a shadow, 
Looked like a broken heart, 
A painful work of art, 
Are those shadows on the wall. 

(Bridge) Now every so often, 
As I lay in bed and try to sleep, 
I think I see the shadow of her walkin’, 
Into my memories. 

(Chorus 2X)

(Repeat chorus)
