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 and 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 sorrow 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 is waiting up ahead Shadow man Is waiting up ahead Is waiting up ahead
