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
