William Black, Skeez - Shadow lyrics

I wrote a song so long ago
Oh, about a women I never know
Long hair and deep blue eyes
(Yeah, yeah)
I asked her name when she walked on by

But I'm still wondering, stumbling around
No one ever hears me screaming out
I just read this, walk around the time here
And now my shadow walks right by my side
Only friend that I'm 'a see in tonight
Wonder if I'll ever see the sign

But she's gotta hold on to me
And she took the soul out of me
I don't wanna, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna be better on my own
I don't wanna go, I can never leave
But I really think you're better off alone

Better off alone
(I don't wanna go)

And now my drinking days are over
I promise that I'll be sober
And I hope I see you this time around

And now my shadow walks right by my side
Only friend that I'm 'a see in the night
Wonder if I'll ever see the sign

But she's gotta hold on to me
And she took the soul out of me
I don't wanna, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna be better on my own
I don't wanna go, I can never leave
But I really think you're better off alone

Better off alone, better off alone
(Ooh-oh)
