Bruce Hornsby - Shadow Hand lyrics

rate me

In light of all I've learned so far

I don't believe I'm so strange

In spite of all this time I spend

Calling the air by a name

When the first light comes over the trees

He will be singing with me

And if I feel like singing alone

He always leave me be

I'm shaking my shadow hand

As the sun moves round the bend

With an imaginary man

And we'll make believe around and around again

There's a man walkinbg around in the night

A lantern in his hand

Looking all around, searching in vain

For an honest man

In my little world of make-believe

I talk to myself or my friend

If real life comes tempting me

I'll go back in my room again

I'm shaking my shadow hand

As the sun moves round the bend

With an imaginary man

And we'll make believe around and around again

So nice to pretend, think I'll do it again

No cards to send, no torn heart to mend

A little imagination and then

A world of fantasy with my friends

I'm shaking my shadow hand

As the sun moves round the bend

With an imaginary man

And we'll make believe around and around again
