Can You Remember?

Can You Remember?

Can you remember my shadow? Can you?
You walked home. I followed your steps
In the pavement, streets, and corners
I waited for you every, every night

Remember my shadow, please, remember
My love, in the night, your light is home
Hmm. I'm still waiting, still loving you
Babe, honey, I need your steps

I need to see your diamond legs at all…
All the way. In my life, oh my only love
So magnetic your high heels
My pillow is your stockings

Can You Remember? Called you a love
Called you your steps. My beating
My heart followed your steps
Needed happiness, to love

Yes, yes, my love
You live, still live
In my memory
Covering you

Covering you
My shadow

Oh love
Oh you
Hmm
Gone
