Shadow of a Lonely Man

Look at me now

A shadow of the man I used to be

Look through my eyes

And through the years of loneliness, you'll see

To the times in my life

When I could not bear to lose

A simple game

And the least of it all

Was the fortune and the fame

But the dream seemed to end

Just as soon as it had begun

Was I to know?

For the last thing of all that was on my mind

Was the close at the end of the show

The shadow of a lonely man

Feels nobody else

In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man

I can see myself

(Looking out of nowhere)

(Looking out of nowhere)

But the sound of the crowds

When they come to see me now

Is not the same

And the jest of it all

Is I can't recall my name

But I'll cling to a hope

'Til I can't hold on anymore

Anymore

And for all the acclaim I am all alone

And I see as I look through the door

The shadow of a lonely man

There's nobody else

In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man

I can see myself

Look at me now

A shadow of the man I used to be
