Louise, I think think you got everything that you wanted But the flowers at your door ain't blooming anymore That house is haunted I'm in the shadow of a man but I'm reaching for your hand, Louise Louise, I think your diamond rings turned brass Promises were made, sometimes they turn to grays I guess I'm in the shadow of a man but I'm reaching for your hand, Louise And your weary heart's been drownin', and you're coming up for air Lookin' for the light, but night after night no one's there I'm in the shadow of a man but I'm reaching for your hand, Louise Louise, I think you've said everything anyone could say So you watch that truck pull up and take your life away I'm in the shadow of a man but I'm reaching for your hand, Louise I'm in the shadow of a man but I'm reaching for your hand, Louise
