Martin Gore: I cast a lonesome shadow

Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room And the lamplight shining on 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 twists and turns as though it is in pain I'm trying to escape the memory my heart recalls And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned Are as empty as the bottle that I hold in my hand My soul is buried in the depths 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 Paroles originales: Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room And 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 twists and turns as though it is in pain I'm trying to escape the memory my heart recalls And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand My soul is buried in the depths 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
