Supertramp - Shadow Song lyrics

Did your shadow ever speak to you? And did he say that something's wrong? Old figure on a lamplit wall Never realised he cared at all Did he stop you going on? Guess 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 cloudy days Or in circles where you hide from view All the doubts that ever bothered you And where people lose your name
