David Bowie - Shadow Man Lyrics

There's a man back a ways
Who believes at where he is
And there's a girl up ahead
Who says she knows

And the street overflows
With folk who understand
For the guy who can't be seen
He's the Shadow man

And the Shadow man is close at hand
Take a turn and see his smile
Made of nothing but loneliness
Take a walk (take a walk), be a friend (be a friend)
To the Shadow man

You can call him Joe, you can call him Sam
You should call and see who answers (see who answers)
For he promises to come running
Guided by the truth
For the Shadow Man is really you

Look in his eyes and see your reflection
Look to the stars and see his eyes
He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows
Of what you did today

You can call him foe, you can call him friend
You should call and see who answers (see who answers)
For he knows your eyes are drawn to the road ahead

And the Shadow man is waiting 'round the bend ('round the bend)
Shadow man is waiting up ahead
Shadow man is waiting up ahead (waiting up ahead, waiting up ahead)
Is waiting up ahead
(Waiting up ahead, waiting up ahead, waiting up ahead)
