Maybe I should get back to it before it snows I got new seals on the doors and put plastic up on the windows I got the shingles on the shed and I moved our double bed from the wall Cuz the insulation's settled and this bed don't need no help getting cold I crawled up and cleaned the chimney out but the air ain't clearin I been keepin it to myself but this is what I was fearin Well you might say, if you were bold, that I'm distracting myself And I can tell you, buddy, that I sure ain't out here for my health If I'm keepin myself in the dark about the way it's goin It's cuz livin with my shadow is better than being alone I've been spinnin all my plates so long they're turnin into bowls I've been holdin all my cards real tight but they're beginnin to fold I've been tryin hard to get the engine runnin but it will not go I've been tellin the collectors that my pockets' fillin up with holes Well If I looked on the bright side I might find my cover's blown No, livin with my shadow is better than being alone I got dark enough blues without knowin the news, I'm doin fine that way I'd do well not to despair over my own affairs, that's for another day I covered all the mirrors and straightened all the pictures Closed the cupboard doors & drawers & tightened all the fixtures I'm in the dark about my darkness, don't tell me I don't wanna know O livin with a shadow is better than being alone If the yard is gettin harder to maintain, it's the seed I sown If my mind is gettin harder to keep sane, it's the things I know All the critters by the river they can hear me moan They don't know why I'm living here in their swampy home But livin with the shadows is better than being alone Yeah livin in the shadows is better than being alone
