I had no way of reaching you
I didn't know if I got through
The room was dark, so was the park
I wondered if I'd ever spark
That girl in love with a shadow
That girl in love with a shadow
We were down in South L.A
I finally found a job to play
There was a night I spent in jail
I found the light but lost the trail
Of that girl in love with a shadow
That girl in love with a shadow
That girl in love
There were pencil marks around the wall
That night I must have tried them all
A voice said she's not around
Gone out to the edge of town
Found a ghost where the shadows fall
I can't say if she's coming back at all
That girl in love with a shadow
I had no way of keeping track
Though I still try and bring her back
Through the years that come and go
Pulled out in the undertow
That girl in love with a shadow
That girl in love with a shadow
That girl in love with a shadow
That girl in love with a shadow
