Lyrics Rory Gallagher

Rory Gallagher

Shadow Play

In the flinty light, it's midnight and stars collide

Shadows run, in full flight, to run, seek and hide

Well, I'm still not sure what part I play

In this shadow play, this shadow play

In the half light, on this mad night

I hear a voice in time

Well, I look back, see a half-smile

Then it's gone from sight

Won't you tell me how I can find my way?

In this shadow play, this shadow play

In this shadow play, this shadow play

Sounds come crashing and I hear laughing

All those lights just blaze away

I feel a little strange inside

A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde

Sounds come crashing and I hear laughing?

All those lights just blaze away

I feel a little strange inside

A little Mr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde

Thoughts run wild, free as a child, into the night

Across the screen a thin beam, of magic light

Yeah, things they just don't look the same

In this shadow play, this shadow play

Shadow play, shadow play

I can't run away from this shadow play

Shadow play, this shadow play
