Can’t Let Her Shadow Stay

Can’t Let Her Shadow Stay (Blues, in the style of Coastal Evening Fair) [Verse 1] Night falls thin upon my floor I watch the dark behind the door I’ve tried to drink her memory away Still her shadow won’t decay [Chorus] I cannot lay her ghost to rest Her quiet charm haunts my breast I walk the road both far and wide Still she lingers by my side [Verse 2] I pass the laugh of strangers’ cheer It stirs her smile within my ear I’ve wandered miles to set me free Yet her magic clings to me [Chorus] I cannot lay her ghost to rest Her quiet charm haunts my breast I walk the road both far and wide Still she lingers by my side [Bridge] Men say time will mend my hurt Bid me seek another’s worth But my heart will not let go Of the girl I used to know [Outro] No, my heart will not let go Of the girl I used to know
