when you walked across the crowded midnights where a neighbor held an empty chair she s a solitaire now i see your smiling fading photographs and how we led by uselessness to wipe away a year as the music from the cafs played in town i watched you turn your gaze from mine passing us away and i switch my mind to memory again the days are cold and youd pretend that you didn t hear and then i stop stop shadows from nowhere calling me i can t stop stop shadows from nowhere i look but youre not there i can t stop stop shadows from nowhere calling me i can t stop stop shadows from nowhere in shapes of you as if you care when the nights pass by too slowly to be shared i look for clues you re in the air the scent you always wear on the mirror lipstick tells of false affairs through words in red only declare another souvenir lying dreams of summer colors in your hair but under clovers you re elsewhere second hand despair so i put your picture in a different frame and hope that you won t look the same shadows disappear  i can t stop stop shadows from nowhere calling me i can t stop stop shadows from nowhere i look but youre not there i cant stop stop shadows from nowhere calling me i can t stop stop shadows from nowhere in shapes of you as if you care oooooh chasing shadows i cant stop stop shadows from nowhere
