It was on a chilly eveningA man and his shadow did wakeOn hollow lane after sundownIn a chair by the fireplaceAcross the road lived a womanMysterious and beautifulFrom her house came the musicKeys to the secrets of the earthThe shadow ached for a visitThe man said no I cannot spyThe shadow lifted his parting glassSomething inside the man diedThe shadow was his rebelFiddlin' for the devilFly with your shadowFly with your shadowFly with your shadowFly with your shadowThe man became a writerHe wrote of pearl upon pearlComic book character in the sunshineBut something was missing from his worldA tappin' on his door crept one midnightThere was something he secretly yearnedA gifted young prince stood on his doorstepHis shadow had returnedHow did you receive your own flesh and bonesWhat of the woman my friendShe gave me everything the shadow repliedWhen she kindly took me inNow the shadow used his skillLow down shakin' chillFly with your shadowFly with your shadowFly with your shadowFly with your shadowshe was poetry herself said the shadowstarry-eyed and wise he revealedI can show you Jupiter I can show you Junoif you kindly sign this dealFly with your shadowFly with your shadowFly with your shadowFly with your shadow
