Who is that upon the stairs
Acting like he don't know where
and who is laying down all the cards
and giving me the wrong things to say
and like a wheel on the table
He's a Cain to my Abel
Oh....... it's my shadow
The confessor to my dreams
casting ribbon round my feet.....oh into my day
it's my shadow...making eyes until the sun lights the daytime
as she comes..oh..into my day
Happy in the time when I would have been there to see you
Happy in the time when I would have been there at all
Happy when the night is gone and I believe you
Happy when the night is gone and I need a call.

Who is chasing in the wind all the letters never sent
and who is dusting down the stars
and giving me the wrong moves to make.
And like a wheel on the table, he's a Cain to my Abel
dancing upon the floor, it's my shadow
making eyes until the sun blinds the daytime
as she comes..oh into my day
it's my shadow like a willow to my stream
casting heaven round my feet
oh.....into my day

paralysed until the sun lights the daytime as she comes
And if my shadow comes a creeping
then I know i'll find me sleeping in the sun.
When you find that things are getting wild is that
