Bent Van Looy Shadow Of A Man
I am but a shadow of a man
I live by the grace of your land
I slide over your pillow
By sunrise I'll be gone
Maybe if you wait I will come there
Some nights I live under the stairs
If someone leaves the lights on
In the downstairs hall
Don't try to chase me
You would never understand
Don't try to change me
What I am is what I am
I'm just a presence you can't see
Only in your mirror I appear
And gently you look through me
As if I weren't here
Don't try to chase me
You would never understand
Don't try to change me
What I am is what I am
I rely on memories
Shadow dancing in the dark
By the lamplight down the street
Right behind you as you are
And when you're wide awake I'm back
Just remember you once said
The one you want the most
Is the hardest to be had
Don't try to chase me
You would never understand
Don't try to change me
What I am is what I am
Don't try to change me
Don't try to change me
Don't try to change me
Don't try to change me
