Shadow - Uriah Heep

There is illusion in my mirror

I have to show concern

'cos what is left is right

Don’t know which way to turn

And there is someone who is like me

But all they want to do is stare

And he would like to find the key

But I’m not there

Shadow, nothing but a shadow

Sunlight, never see the sunlight

Power, I got a special power

Shadow, nothing but a shadow

And now I’m moving down the sidewalk

Just staring at the ground

And if I don’t look up

The scene will change around

And we are residents of nowhere

What do we really say?

Like a marionette just acting out a play

Shadow, nothing but a shadow

Sunlight, never see the sunlight

Power, I got a special power

Shadow, nothing but a shadow

I thought I saw a face that I knew

While running through the crowd

Then she turned to look at me

I didn’t really feel a thing

Just floating through the air

A trick of light for all to see

Shadow, nothing but a shadow

Sunlight, never see the sunlight

Power, I got a special power

Shadow, nothing but a shadow
