AMERICAN AQUARIUM
"Shadows Of You"
(B.J. Barham)

I'll never forget
How your silhouette
Danced on the walls of that room
Or the deafenin' sound
When you let your hair down
And my heart just dropped out of tune

We holed up
In those four walls
As the world outside passed us by
When the morning's embrace
Shed a light on your face
I saw leavin' in your eyes

[Chorus:]
Like a freight train it hits me that you're good and gone
Like a minor chord in a sad country song
I find myself sittin' all alone the whole night through
So here I am in Richmond again, slow-dancin' with the shadows of you

It was wrong from the start
But the wants of the heart
Seemed to outweigh the soundest of minds
And our lustful desires
Fanned the flames of the fire
That would surely consume us with time

But I must have hesitated
And you asked how long this could go on
'Cause in the blink of an eye
You kiss me goodbye
And as fast you came you were gone

[Chorus:]
Like a freight train it hits me that you're good and gone
Like a minor chord in a sad country song
I find myself sittin' all alone the whole night through
So here I am in Richmond again, slow-dancin' with the shadows of you

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
Like a freight train it hits me that you're good and gone
Like a minor chord in a sad country song
I find myself sittin' all alone with nothin' to do
So here I am in Richmond again, slow-dancin' with the shadows of you
And here I am in Richmond again, slow-dancin' with the shadows of you
