Shade of a Shadow Lyrics
Can I call you if I’m back in town
Leave a message when I’m southbound
Could I please, could I please?
Won’t be long till I ‘ll be passing through
Maybe three days, maybe two
Could I see you one more time
If it’s OK if you don’t mind?
I’m the shade of a shadow, baby
Been thinking about you tonight
How sweetly you bring light
You’re the ray of the sun
I’m the shade of a shadow
For all the letters I’ve never sent
For all the time we haven’t spent
Could I please, could I please?
You’ve always said I play games I know I’d lose
You’ve always said that’s the life I choose
Could I see you one more time
If it’s OK if you don’t mind?
I’m the shade of a shadow, baby
Been thinking about you tonight
How sweetly you bring light
You’re the ray of the sun
I’m the shade of a shadow
Leave a message when I’m southbound
Could I please, could I please?
Won’t be long till I ‘ll be passing through
Maybe three days, maybe two
If it’s OK if you don’t mind?
I’m the shade of a shadow, baby
Been thinking about you tonight
How sweetly you bring light
You’re the ray of the sun
I’m the shade of a shadow
For all the time we haven’t spent
Could I please, could I please?
You’ve always said I play games I know I’d lose
You’ve always said that’s the life I choose
If it’s OK if you don’t mind?
I’m the shade of a shadow, baby
Been thinking about you tonight
How sweetly you bring light
You’re the ray of the sun
I’m the shade of a shadow

To me, this song feels sad.
Outside of the context in which I experienced it, it has significant meaning. (In the movie P.S. it's a great "outro" to a fairly meaningless song...)
When I hear this song I'm reminded of those people who I love and only keep in touch enough to want to keep in touch more...
One such "friend" got married recently and I played this song on the way. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to "call her" the next time I was back in town was sad...
