Shadow Song

[Verse 1: Richard Davies]

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?

[Verse 2: Richard Davies & Roger Hodgson]

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

About a girl who'd have her way

[Chorus: Richard Davies & Roger Hodgson]

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

[Verse 3: Richard Davies & Roger Hodgson]

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
