Lyrics
CHASING SHADOWS
(Dale Allen/Jim Carolan/Bob McCormick/Bill Flowerree)
Chasing shadows
Two a.m. on a rain-soaked highway
Moon playing tricks on my mind
I see her face in the pools on the blacktop
And wonder if I'm wastin' time
Chasing shadows
Fighting battles that never end
Tryin' to catch a swirling wind
Chasing shadows
Is there the slightest chance
Our hearts will ever dance again
Or am I chasing shadows
All I took were her tears on my shoulder
Hell-bent to follow my dream
Thought I'd find everything I wanted
But without her it turned out to be
Chasing shadows
Fighting battles that never end
Tryin' to catch a swirling wind
Chasing shadows
Is there the slightest chance
Our hearts will ever dance again
Or am I chasing shadows
Will she forgive the mistakes I made
Or will I spend the rest of my days
(Chorus)
