lyrics

She got gold dust
Sprinkled in her hazel eyes
She got gold dust
Sprinkled in her hazel eyes
She'll split in half
Any man alive

Why you going now
When you know it's gone too far
Well I've seen a lot of women
But none of them kept so many scars
You keep howlin'
At the moon for fun
When I hear you howlin'
I make for the moonlight and run

To help
Keep me from the shadows
Johnny
Keep me from the shadows
Mary
Keep me from the shadows
Anybody
Keep me from the shadows

She's a spirit of the night time
Moonlight burns her skin
She's a spirit of the night time
Moonlight burns her skin
I'm hiding in the meadow
But I still hear her grin

She blew the wind through my hair
And I turned into a pile of dust
She pulled my hand to her breast
And my fingers began to rust
She's got witchcraft in her lipstick
Lord knows I do what I must

To keep me from the shadows
Anybody
Keep me from the shadows
My honey
She keeps me from the shadows
She keeps me
Running from the shadows

Lying in the desert
Just my and my ball aching head
Lying in the desert
Just me and my ball aching head
Forget my woman
I'll have a drink of water instead

All I got's a bottle of whiskey
And a whole lot of god damn time
Guess I'll just pour me another
As I watch the clouds roll by
The way baby looked at me
I wanna hang my head and cry

Leave me in the shadows
Keep me in the shadows
Got nowhere to go but the shadows
Leave me in the shadows
