| Theres a man back a-ways |
| Who believes at where he is And theres a girl |
| Up ahead who says she knows |
| And the street overflows |
| With the folk who understand |
| But for the guy who cant be seen |
| Hes 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 |
| Hell show you tomorrow, hell 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 |
| Its really you, its really you, its really you |
| Hes the shadow man |
| Oh yeah |
| Shadow man |
