Grammar:

• Just round the corner

  ➔ Ellipsis/Omission of preposition

  ➔ The preposition 'around' is often omitted in informal speech, especially in phrases indicating direction or location. A more formal version would be 'Just around the corner'.

• There's a shadow in the dark

  ➔ Existential 'there is/are'

  ➔ This uses the existential "there's" (there is) to introduce the existence of a shadow. It's followed by a singular noun phrase.

• Got a feeling it's the devil

  ➔ Reduced relative clause/ Omission of 'that'

  ➔ This sentence is a shortened version of "I've got a feeling that it's the devil." The "that" is often omitted in informal speech.

• Lord knows that much is true

  ➔ Subject-Verb Inversion (for emphasis)

  ➔ While 'Lord knows that much is true' sounds natural and common, it is inverting the standard Subject-Verb order for emphasis. The more typical structure would be 'Lord knows that much is true', but inverting draws more attention to "that much".

• Well I've been a fool for you

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous (experience)

  ➔ The use of "I've been a fool" indicates an experience, extending from the past to the present.

• Lord knows 'cause I love you

  ➔ Informal Contraction/Omission

  ➔ The "because" is shortened to "'cause". This is a common informal contraction.
