It was on a chilly evening  A man and his shadow did wake  On hollow lane after sundown  In a chair by the fireplace  Across the road lived a woman  Mysterious and beautiful  From her house came the music  Keys to the secrets of the earth  The shadow ached for a visit  The man said no I cannot spy  The shadow lifted his parting glass  Something inside the man died  The shadow was his rebel  Fiddlin' for the devil  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  The man became a writer  He wrote of pearl upon pearl  Comic book character in the sunshine  But something was missing from his world  A tappin' on his door crept one midnight  There was something he secretly yearned  A gifted young prince stood on his doorstep  His shadow had returned  How did you receive your own flesh and bones  What of the woman my friend  She gave me everything the shadow replied  When she kindly took me in  Now the shadow used his skill  Low down shakin' chill  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  she was poetry herself said the shadow  starry-eyed and wise he revealed  I can show you Jupiter I can show you Juno  if you kindly sign this deal  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow  Fly with your shadow
