Left on the window sill
Forgotten country way
No children here at play
Things they fall or rust by now
The shadow always said
living on hard bread
The dust blows
Shadows knows
Behind us
Not that far
Another dead radio star
I'd give a million tomorrows
Just for one yesterday
That's what a shadow used to say
Nighthawks
Sleepless nights in the Kansas City rain
This place just ain't the same
The dust blows
Shadows knows
Behind us
Not that far
Another dead radio star
Lost in your ghost town now
You can see the old haunts
Shadows of their former selves
Mary cries with every line
In the same wrong song
There's nothing else on
The dust blows
Shadows knows
Behind us
Not that far
Another dead radio star
