Shadow Lyrics

I hope you find New Orleans
Love, life, peace of mind
For all it's worth I tried
But we're the east and west wind
So don't pretend to know me now like you never let me know you
It doesn't matter now
So I guess this is goodbye
Things are fine, but not ok
So I guess this is goodbye
For all it's worth I tried
Worry only for yourself-
You're all you've got in this world
Joplin said that once and I guess for you she was right
So I'll get comfortable here in your shadow
For all it's worth I tried
So I guess this is goodbye
Things are fine, but not the same
So I guess this is goodbye
For all it's worth I tried
For all it's worth we lied
For all it's worth I'll try
But I won't hold onto your shadow.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
