Shadow of a Man - Hue & Cry

Haunts my every step

Behind me where I stand

I’m a stranger to myself

A mere shadow of a man

Blinking in the torchlight

Holding fingers to my eyes

Another midnight escapade

Another guy, the wrong size

Hang around the neighborhood

Watch my boy at play

See myself in miniature

All my mistakes wiped away

He doesn’t know me anyway

With my broken open face

Rooted to the spot right here

Falling into my own space

Haunts my every step

Behind me where I stand

I’m a stranger to myself

A mere shadow of a man

My room is like a negative

That’s on a strip of film

I huddle in the corner

And this time is killing

He doesn’t know me anyway

With my broken, open face

Rooted to the spot right here

Falling into my own space

I hang around the neighborhood

Watch my boy at play

See myself in miniature

All my mistakes wiped away

Get behind me

Get behind me

I hang around the neighborhood

Watch my boy at play

See myself in miniature

All my mistakes wiped away

He doesn’t know me anyway

With my broken, open face

Rooted to the spot right here

Falling into my own space

Haunts my every step

Behind me where I stand

I’m a stranger to myself

Mere shadow of a man

Haunts my every step

Behind me where I stand

I’m a stranger to myself

A mere shadow of a man
