lyrics
Verse 1
I once told my mother about a man
She is the only one who really truly understands
He’s not like any man I have known before
He is a ghost and he lives on my floor
Chorus
Shadow man won’t you come out today
I’m so tired of your shadow and I want to see your face
Shadow man you’re a lot like me
Afraid to come out for all this world to see
Shadow man well I hope you can hear
It’s not you I’m scared of it’s the darkness that I fear
Verse 2
Whatever happened in your days to cause you pain
Would you like to come back and walk this world again
If I had it in my power I’d give you back your life
Maybe than you’d change your ways and make your wrongs all right
Bridge
Take your spirit somewhere else I don’t want you around
I am the one who’s living now and your walking on my ground
I once told my mother about a man
She is the only one who really truly understands
He’s not like any man I have known before
He is a ghost and he lives on my floor
Chorus
Shadow man won’t you come out today
I’m so tired of your shadow and I want to see your face
Shadow man you’re a lot like me
Afraid to come out for all this world to see
Shadow man well I hope you can hear
It’s not you I’m scared of it’s the darkness that I fear
Verse 2
Whatever happened in your days to cause you pain
Would you like to come back and walk this world again
If I had it in my power I’d give you back your life
Maybe than you’d change your ways and make your wrongs all right
Bridge
Take your spirit somewhere else I don’t want you around
I am the one who’s living now and your walking on my ground
