Me and...

For the last couple of days the words to the song Me and My Shadow have been running around in my head. The once popular song was composed in 1927. I wonder what the lyricist, Billy Rose, was really thinking when he came up with the words.

Just me and my shadow
Walking down the avenue
No one to tell my troubles to
All alone and feeling blue
When it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Me and my shadow all alone and feeling blue

The song could pretty well describe my current life, except for the blue part. When I think of my shadow as my inner self, my soul it makes me feel very loved, even when there is nobody else around. It's an exclusive little club just meant for two- me and my shadow.
