Did your shadow ever speak to you? And did he say that something's wrong? Only a figure on a lamplit wall Never realised he cared at all Did he stop you going on? Yes 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 About a girl who'd have her way Sometimes shadows are near I see things very clear My life unwinds Somewhere I'll make my stand Look round at yesterday And change my mind Now your shadow isn't always there In the light of a cloudy day Or in circles where you hide from view All the doubts that ever bothered you And where people lose your name
