Long Shadows

There in my corner while she works the room
She's the life of the party; I'm the queen of doom and gloom
I'm nobody special, not while she's around
Tall trees block the sunlight from the flowers on the ground

Long shadows, long shadows
She casts long shadows over me
Now them long shadows, they're the wrong shadows
And darkness is the only thing I see

It's been a few years now since they parted ways
But whenever he sees her, color drops from his face
He tells me he loves me, but I can see in his eyes
A fire still burning 'cause old flames never die

Long shadows, long shadows
She casts long shadows over me
Now them long shadows, they're the wrong shadows
And darkness is the only thing I see

I try not to notice his far away gaze
He's dreaming about her and happier days
I've been a good woman, but I'll never compare
To Anna Maria and her long, auburn hair

Long shadows, long shadows
She casts long shadows over me
Now them long shadows, they're the wrong shadows
And darkness is the only thing I see
And darkness is the only thing I see
