"Shadow Song"

Did your shadow ever speak to you?
And did he say that something's wrong?
Huddled figure on a lamp-lit 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 is playing with some foolish plan
'Bout a girl who have her way

Sometimes shadows are near
I see things very clear
My life unwinds
Somewhere I make my stay
Look round at yesterday
And change my mind

Now your shadow isn't always there
In the light of cloudy day
Or in circles where you hide from view
All the doubts that ever bothered you
And where people lose your name
