Shadowed Heart

A shadow creeps across my floor

I can't feel the sun no more

The steel strings cry and so do I

Lost in the echo of your goodbye

The night’s too long the whiskey’s cold

Your memory’s a hand I can't let go

Steel guitar moans like a lonesome dove

Bleeding notes from a broken love

Oh my shadowed heart it don’t shine

Beat by beat it's losing time

Every chord’s a tear I play

My soul’s a ghost since you walked away

I wear this pain like a worn-out coat

Every word you said still sticks in my throat

Steel strings hum the song of regret

But the melody ain’t letting me forget

Oh the moon’s a liar it don’t bring peace

The stars just mock my heart’s release

Every note I play digs deeper in

This shadowed heart won’t ever win

Oh my shadowed heart it don’t shine

Beat by beat it's losing time

Every chord’s a tear I play

My soul’s a ghost since you walked away
