Lyrics: Rory Gallagher. Shadow Play.
In the flinty light, it's midnight,
And the stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight,
To run, seek and hide.
I'm still not sure what part I play,
In this shadow play, shadow play.
In the half-light, on this mad night,
I hear a voice in time.
Well, I look back, see a half-smile,
Then it's gone from sight.
Tell me, how I can find my way,
In this shadow play, this shadow play,
In this shadow play, this shadowplay.
Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little Mr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Yeah.........
Thoughts run wild, free as a child,
Into the night.
Across the screen a thin beam,
Of magic light.
There are things that just don't look the same,
In this shadow play, shadow play,
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away.
From this shadow play,
shadow play, this shadow play
Well help me find my way,
In this shadow play,
Yeah..........
And the stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight,
To run, seek and hide.
I'm still not sure what part I play,
In this shadow play, shadow play.
In the half-light, on this mad night,
I hear a voice in time.
Well, I look back, see a half-smile,
Then it's gone from sight.
Tell me, how I can find my way,
In this shadow play, this shadow play,
In this shadow play, this shadowplay.
Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little Mr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Yeah.........
Thoughts run wild, free as a child,
Into the night.
Across the screen a thin beam,
Of magic light.
There are things that just don't look the same,
In this shadow play, shadow play,
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away.
From this shadow play,
shadow play, this shadow play
Well help me find my way,
In this shadow play,
Yeah..........
