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
But 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
Just 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

But 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 sorrows

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
Oh, the Shadow Man
Ohooooo oooo
Shadow man, shadow man

It`s really you, it`s really you, it`s really you
He`s the shadow man
Oh yeah
Shadow man
