The Shadow

I'll come dancing throught your door with hands out to the poor

And you won't know my name but you will play my game

And thought your eyes will sleep, sleep so very deep

It can't keep me from your door

Like a vampire I will call

And when the Sandman comes to you at last

I'll take the reins

Like a river flowing south

A virus coursing throught your blood

Bursting its bank and over the land

Washing away the grains of sand

And after all the faded years

I look in the mirror on the edge of tears

It seems I might have finally seen

That haunting shadow was really me

There's a man who's followed me just about all of my life

Being to you what I couldn't be

I call him my insecurity

He was strong when I was weak

Spoke outloud when I couldn't speak

He takes you hand from your carriage

And kisses you under the silver moon

Taken by his charm hand on arm

This white knight of gestures can never do wrong

I ran and I ran to go as far as I can

Looking over my shoulders

But always seeing that man

Running after me on the horizon forever

He takes you hand from your carriage

And kisses you under the silver moon

Taken by his charm hand on arm

This white knight of gestures can never do wrong

Shining bright a silver light

On the long tall shadows of the night

Spiralling down and out of control

I know it's a dream but I can't let go

Cries for help fall on stony ground

There's so much noise I can't hear a sound

Forever falling and I can't sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Looking for somewhere that's home to me now

The king of the castle and his sacred cow

I've travelled the world and by chance this is how

The lies became true

Between me and you

Free spirit I've travelled so follow me now (3x)

I'll come dancing throught your door

With hands out to the poor

You won't suspect at all

Like a vampire I will call
