Fly With Your Shadow Lyrics - Singles - Bottomley John

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
