Shadow Man
There's a man back a-ways
Who believes at where he is
And there's a girl up ahead
Who says she knows
And the street overflows
With the folk who understand
For the guy who can't be seen
He's the shadow man
And the shadow man is close at hand
Take a turn and see his smile
Made of nothing but loneliness
Take a walk, be a friend
To the shadow man
You can call him Joe, you can call him Sam
You should call and see who answers
For he promises to come running, guided by the truth
For the shadow man is really you
Look in his eyes and see your reflection
Look to the stars and see his eyes
He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows
Of what you did today
You can call him foe, you can call him friend
You should call and see who answers
For he knows your eyes are drawn to the road ahead
And the shadow man is waiting 'round the bend
The shadow man
He's waiting up ahead
Shadow man
He's waiting up ahead
He's waiting up ahead
Who believes at where he is
And there's a girl up ahead
Who says she knows
And the street overflows
With the folk who understand
For the guy who can't be seen
He's the shadow man
And the shadow man is close at hand
Take a turn and see his smile
Made of nothing but loneliness
Take a walk, be a friend
To the shadow man
You can call him Joe, you can call him Sam
You should call and see who answers
For he promises to come running, guided by the truth
For the shadow man is really you
Look in his eyes and see your reflection
Look to the stars and see his eyes
He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows
Of what you did today
You can call him foe, you can call him friend
You should call and see who answers
For he knows your eyes are drawn to the road ahead
And the shadow man is waiting 'round the bend
The shadow man
He's waiting up ahead
Shadow man
He's waiting up ahead
He's waiting up ahead
