Country Tabs claims to have the song, and these often include the words. It required a (free I think) registrations which I declined to do, so I don't know if they're there or not.

Thanks Mick Pearce,Country Tabs is operational and you do have to register and it is free and they did have the lyrics to Shadow of my mind,but it does take a little bit of jocking around to get what you want

Here are the lyrics from Cowboy Lyrics (but there seems to be a line missing from verse 1). The song title and author credit come from Allmusic.com and The BMI Repertoire:

SHADOWS OF MY MIND
E. E. (Ervel Edward) Collins (perhaps also known as Eddie Collins)

CHORUS: In the shadows of my mind,
I see her just the way she used to be.
When I'm alone at night,
And I turn off the light,
She goes walking through the shadows of my mind.

1. It's a girl I used to know,
A long, long time ago.
I did her wrong just one too many times.
When I turn off the light,
She goes walking through the shadows of my mind. CHORUS

2. I've been trying to forget,
But I haven't forgotten yet.
Through the days I seem to make it fine,
But when I lay down at night,
And I finally close my eyes,
She goes walking through the shadows of my mind. CHORUS

[Recorded by Vernon Oxford on "Keeper of the Flame," and by Dallas Wayne on "Here I Am in Dallas."]

Jim The 1st verse does have some words missing.this is what I got off of the other web page Country Tabs.(Correction) Louie Roy

It's a girl I used to know,a long long time ago.
I did her wrong just one to many times.
Now every single night,when I turn out the lights
She goes walking through the shadows of my mind
