Supertramp Shadow Song song lyrics

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
