Kaufman / Kaufman / Kippel

March 10th 1934 Los Angeles

also rec by Blue Steele & his Orch '29


Again I find that I have made a huge mistake,
Again a little blackbird has made my poor heart ache!
I must admit it's a bitter pill to take,
Clouds are pretty hard to shake.

I'm in the shadows of love,
Never seen the sun above.
since that gal of mine has gone,
There's no breaking of the dawn,
I'm just living in the shadows of love!

My heart is like a stone,
Got no-one to call my own;
Like an old discarded glove
Thrown upon the shelf above,
I'm just livin' in the shadows of love!

Oh why must I
Always have to feel lowdown?
Oh why must I
Always drag a torch around?

ny life is nothing but blues,
Never win, I always lose!
Haven't got an alibi,
Made my bed, that's where I lie,
Always living in the shadows of love!

Oh why must I
Always have to feel lowdown?
Oh why must I
Always drag a torch around?

ny life is nothing but blues,
Never win, I always lose!
Haven't got an alibi,
Made my bed, that's where I lie,
Always living in the shadows of love!
