Shadow on the wall V1 You view me with your reflection seen As though your self puts a glass between A shield from you it could not be For I feel you shape me The book I am changes with every page Only the cover do you see Don’t try to catch the shadow of a man The world is a wall, the sun is our soul, we cast our shadows against the wall Chorus It’s just a shadow on the wall It’s just a shadow on the wall It’s just a shadow on the wall That’s all you see You don’t see me at all It’s just a shadow V1 The instrument that you use to gauge Affects the subject there perceived What you see is what you made But you won’t see me What you cage is just a memory Of a bird that long flew free Don’t try to catch the shadow of a man The world is a wall, the sun is our soul, we cast our shadows against the wall Chorus It’s just a shadow on the wall It’s just a shadow on the wall It’s just a shadow on the wall That’s all you see You don’t see me at all It’s just a shadow Mark McCahon Copyrighted © 1984 Mark McCahon all rights reserved
