Dark shadows and empty hallways
That reach out to enfold the lonely
To hide falling tears when a lover has gone

Listening for her step on the stair
Looking up and hopin' she's there
Living ev'ry day with despair
Since she's gone

(Dark shadows and empty hallways) life is so lonely
(That reach out to enfold the lonely) so lonely
(To hide falling tears when a lover has gone) when love has gone
(When love has gone)

And if you see my baby
Just tell her there is no rainbow for me
And if you talk to my baby
Just tell her I'm as blue as can be

How can I make tomorrow
When I can't bear to live through today?
My heart is filled with sorrow
There is no life, and now I can't find my way

(Dark shadows and empty hallways) life is so lonely
(That reach out to enfold the lonely) so lonely
(To hide falling tears when a lover has gone) when love has gone

Looking for a break in the storm (looking for a break in the storm)
Reaching out for some place that's warm (reaching out for some place that's warm)
Knowing I can't live since she's gone (knowing I can't live since she's gone)
Gone away

(Dark shadows and empty hallways) life is so lonely
(That reach out to enfold the lonely) so lonely
(To hide falling tears when a lover has gone
(So lonely)
