Long Shadow

(Album: Favorite Colors - 2019)

Every song with a broken heart
Says drive out to the coast
Damn my luck when I show up
That's where I feel you most
So I drove up to Seattle
Where they say it always rains
But even on a cloudy day

You cast a long shadow
Even the highway can't outrun
Somehow you're always standing
Between me and the sun
No matter how far
You follow my heart
New York to California
You cast a long shadow don't ya
You cast a long shadow don't ya

Oh I know I can't stay here
I know I can't home
Maybe I gotta cross an ocean
To finally shake your ghost
Could I fly faster than your memory
To the ends of the earth
Cause hometown goodbyes are a world of hurt

You cast a long shadow
Even the highway can't outrun
Somehow you're always standing
Between me and the sun
No matter how far
You follow my heart
New York to California
You cast a long shadow don't ya
You cast a long shadow don't ya

Dive bar smoke on a leather jacket
I can't help but hear you laughing
Dancing with you even after the end
Of the song
Baby that's just how you linger on

You cast a long shadow
Even the highway can't outrun
Somehow you're always standing
Between me and the sun
No matter how far
You follow my heart
New York to California
You cast a long shadow don't ya
You cast a long shadow don't ya
