Lyrics Those Poor Bastards

Those Poor Bastards

Shadows Fall

I went out walkin' beneath that wainin' moon

got tired of sittin' with my memories in an empty room

I looked down and I couldn't help but notice

Shadows fall, wherever I go

shadows fall, in the dirt or snow

shadows fall, wherever I go

shadows fall

I took a six gun and aimed it at my head

the birds were singin' but I couldn't tell what they said

If I had a heart, it'd break in two

if I still had tears, they'd fall for you

but all I got is my shadow on the floor

The dog went limpin' down that endless road

I took my six gun and I shot that poor beast down

I watched him fall and it, it made me feel so hopeless

Shadows fall, wherever I go

shadows fall, in the dirt or snow

shadows fall, wherever I go

shadows fall

If I had a heart, it'd break in two

if I still had tears, they'd fall for you

but all I got is my shadow on the floor
