Shadowplay

Hunched foetal in the corner of my soul

My fingernails are bleeding from climbing up the wall

This time you really hurt me right down to the core

And I'm desperately trying to find a reason to forgive you for it all

I saw your life as a shadowplay

In a trance I was held by the shadowplay

In the spell of the shadowplay

From Celtic illumination

I see the Celtic illumination

The Celtic

I never realized just how far we'd gone

I turned around and all that I saw was distance

Through an anger that burned every time

That someone mentioned your name

I should have noticed, should have read the signs

We could have talked it out if there was a problem

It wasn't obvious then

But then it isn't really obvious now

I saw your life as a shadowplay

In a trance I was held by the shadowplay

In the spell of the shadowplay

From Celtic illumination

I see the Celtic illumination

The Celtic

I could have changed I could have settled down

I could have been whatever you wanted me to be

If you gave me the chance

But it seems that it's too late for that now

I thought I knew you thought we had it made

I'd thought it out, thought I had the answers

After all is said and done

The only thing I really know is your name

I sit and wait for the shadowplay

Let me in into the world of the shadowplay

I'll follow you to the shadowplay

Through Celtic illumination

Give me the Celtic illumination

Illumination

If I'd only had the patience, if I'd only had the time

If I'd only known the moment when you'd chosen to decide

If I'd only ever listened, if you'd only ever asked

If I'd known it was important, if I'd known it wouldn't last

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Maybe if I'd noticed, maybe if I'd tried

Maybe if I'd worked at it, it never would have died

Maybe I was selfish, maybe I was blind

Maybe I was in the wrong and you were in the right

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Could I have been a better man, was I really all to blame?

Was it me that was the problem, was it me that dealt the pain?

Did you never mean to hurt me, did you only try to show

That you really, truly loved me, that together we're alone

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay

I see my life as a shadowplay

All around is the magic of shadowplay

In the world of the shadowplay is where I belong

Where all that I feared is how it is and will be

All that was hidden

Now you will see

All I could dream

You'll find now is real

All I could touch

Now you can feel

And the light that I follow

Is where the madness will end

Illumination, illumination

Shine on, shine on, shine on.
