Every evening when the sun goes down
I sit here in my room
The lamplight streaming over me
Projects my lonely gloom
My counterpart in agony
Mocks each tear that falls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
On these lonely, lonely walls
He's always by my side at night
No matter where I go
He lurks out in the darkness
Or in the neon's glow
He follows me across the steps
And up and down the halls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
On these lonely, lonely walls
I sit and watch the candle
And the flicker of the flame
My writhing shadow's twisting
As though it is in pain
I'm trying to forget
A memory my heart recalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
On these lonely, lonely walls
Everything I hoped for
And all the things I'd planned
Are as empty as this bottle
That I hold in my hand
I'm buried in the deepest depth
Of love and life's pitfalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
On these lonely, lonely walls
I cast a lonesome shadow
On these lonely, lonely walls
