Hard contemporary folk and acoustic rock
Lyrics
Shadow
© 2008 Owen Hovenden
This morning I awoke
And my fear awoke within me
For my life had turned to dust
And mind was no more
I’m a stranger to myself
My reflection brings no memory
I’m as formless as a shadow
Drifting slowly cross the floor
Then I fell to my knees
And I prayed to God in heaven
And I raged at the earth
With every curse I’ve ever known
I’m a stranger to myself
And my life’s become so empty
But my prayers and my curses
Left me standing all alone
Chorus:
I’m a shadow (echo: shadow, shadow) shadow man
Stripped of all pretences
Naked to the night
I’m a shadow (echo: shadow, shadow) of myself
And I’ve got to find my way back out of the darkness
And into the light
Now I’ll yield to my fate
As I feel my terror fading
Like daylight into dreams
Where space and time collide
This empty shadow hell’s
Just another place I’m leaving
As I cast aside my shadow
And I float into the light
Chorus X 2
