All my life I’ve been a shadow
Nothing more, nothing less
Just a shadow on the pavement
Following without reason
Without question
Just doing what I’m told
The shadow on the ground
Just a shadow waiting to be found
All my life I’ve been a shadow
There by day, gone by night
Unnoticed, I come and go
Watching, listening
And silently I stand
At the feet of demand
All my life I’ve been a shadow
Nothing more, nothing less
Just a shadow on the pavement
With a tale to share
The things I’ve seen
The things I’ve heard
I’m only a shadow
I have no voice, nor sight
I’m only a shadow, gone with the night
