Verse:
She danced in the doorway, just a whisper and a sway
Took my love to heaven, but left my soul to pay
I see her in the mirror, just for a little while
Don’t need no photo, ‘cause my shadow wears her smile

Chorus:
Oh the grave took her laughter, the night took my mind
The bottle took my days, and the blues ain't been kind
She gone without goodbye, been gone a long while
But Lord have mercy—my shadow wears her smile

Verse 3:
Her dress still hangs by the bedroom wall
A ghost of silk and pain, too light to fall
When the wind comes callin’, I wait in exile
Watch the candle flicker... my shadow wears her smile

Bridge (spoken, half-sung):
I tried to run from Memphis, down through Natchez bend
But sorrow’s got a long arm, and it know just how to bend
Everywhere I go, that shadow walks in style
Grinnin’ like a devil… wearin’ her sweet smile

Final Chorus:
Oh the grave took her laughter, the night took my mind
The bottle took my days, and the blues ain't been kind
She gone without goodbye, been gone a long while
But I still see her every dusk…
My shadow wears her smile

MY SHADOW WEARS HER SMILE
