Shadow Play Songtext
von Rory Gallagher

In the flinty light, it′s midnight and stars collide
Shadows run, in full flight, to run, seek and hide
Well, I'm still not sure what part I play
In this shadow play, this 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

Won't you tell me how I can find my way?
In this shadow play, this shadow play
In this shadow play, this shadow play


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

Thoughts run wild, free as a child, into the night
Across the screen a thin beam, of magic light
Yeah, things they just don't look the same
In this shadow play, this shadow play

Shadow play, shadow play
I can′t run away from this shadow play
Shadow play, this shadow play
