Shadow Man Lyrics

Another night the moonlight dying

The whisky drying on my lips

Instruments of torture vying

To tear my heart into bits

The shadows falling

I hear you calling

Shadow Man there you are

Devil smile, icy gaze

I see you through the smoke and haze

Your touch could freeze a heart for days

He says, 'I cannot bear your cry

I'll bring you down, your binds untie

But how to make sure that you

Never wind up here again?'

Don't catch her eye

Don't look her way

Don't share her smile

No repartee

No stolen glances

No advances

Cold as ice, if you can

Like the Shadow Man

The Shadow Man

Another night, oh, how time passes

Such empty glasses in my wake

Paper dreams, now snow-like ashes

How many falls can I take?

The shadows close in

The air now frozen

Shadow Man, right on time

Takes my hand, gives a wink

Into my hand another drink

Again he pulls me from the brink

He says, 'we've been here more than twice

You should have heeded my advice

Your injuries histories

Should have taught you long ago

Don't catch her eye

Don't look her way

Don't share her smile

No repartee

No stolen glances

No advances

Cold as ice, if you can

Shadow Man

With her you're trapped

Alone you're free

You'll be a shadow just like me

The world is stark, yes

From the darkness

Never feel love again

Like the Shadow Man

Like the Shadow Man

Like the Shadow Man
