Did your shadow ever speak to you?

And did he say that something's wrong?

Only a figure on a lamplit wall

Never realized he cared at all

Did he stop you going on?

Guess my shadow spoke to me tonight

And made me throw my dreams away

Told a story of a twisted man

Who was playing with some foolish plan

'Bout a girl who had flown

Sometimes shadows are near

I see things very clear, my life unwinds

Somewhere I'll make my stand

Look around at yesterday

And change my mind

Now your shadow isn't always there

In the light of cloudy days

Or in circles where you hide from view

All the dust that ever bothered you

And where people loose your name
